[QUOTE="PantherCreekFarms, post: 724892, member: 57539"] Thanks for advice. I called Savage today and learned that they used the standard EGW rail which is 6061 crap. I called EGW to find out why Savage didn't get the better HD rail that EGW makes and they said EGW said Savage wouldn't spend the extra$$ Needless to say I'm taking off the factory rail when it comes in and using the EGW HD rail for the long action Savage (part #80332). These are made from 7075-T6 and the only thing you have to do yo use on the 110 FCP HSP is to get it in 8-40 screws (standard is the smaller 6). Found them on Swfa for under $60. They will have to do, as my build is almost out of money. Check out the HD's. I hope they work out for me [url=http://www.egwguns.com/savage/hd-savage-round-back-picatinny-rail-scope-mount/]HD Savage Round Back Picatinny Rail Scope Mount: Evolution Gun Works Inc.[/url] I went with the EGW HD 0.850 rings (part #60110)which are also with the 7075-T6 machined as a matched pair.
