Re: Savage model 12 scope mount
The scope base holes on top of Savage actions are threaded to 6-48.
I have seen where some guys have re-threaded them to a 8-40, but I have never really seen a reason for it other than to just have a bigger screw. The 6-48's have held whatever I've needed it to with no problem.
