Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Savage 220F scope mount & scope suggestions

Just bought a Savage 220F. The owners manual says the gun can use any Weaver base designed for a Savage long action but I read a couple of old articles that said you need a Picatinny rail set up from EGW or Warne so I'm asking for some direction.

Also what height rings are needed? I like rings as low as possible but I realize ejection clearance will be an issue with a shotgun.

I was at the gun range last fall sighting in and few guys had 12 and 20 gauge versions of these and the package gun mounts & scopes suck.
The factory weaver bases loosened up, but they did not use Loctite on them.
Leupold has a nice ring height chart in their catalog that works on their scopes except the 30 mm xvr ones.

We used a EGW rail on ours,we could not get reliable ejection with a single full length base,the egw has a cutout that lets it eject properly.Good shooting shotguns,try the remington accutips if you can.

EGW here. Works great.

I have Talley's on mine and love it. I called them up; told them I was shooting a Savage 220 LH and the scope I wanted to use. Less than 20 minutes later I got an email that the item was shipped complete with tracking number.

Dednutz on mine. Works just fine for me.

Savage recommends EGW and they have worked on all 3 of my 220F's.

My son has the EGW and it is great too.

As far as scopes go, do any of the scopes with the circles for different ranges correlate to the trajectory of the 20 gauge Remington Accutips in 3 inch?
