Description
The EGW Savage 212 Picatinny Rail is a one-piece scope base built specifically for the Savage Model 212 slug gun. It's cut to match the 212's long-action hole spacing of 4.629 inches, so you get a precise fit on the receiver without any fuss. Machined from domestic 6061 T6 extruded aluminum and finished in matte black anodizing, this rail keeps a low profile while giving your optic a dependable, repeatable platform to sit on.
Why the Savage 212 Rail Earns Its Keep
Slug guns kick, and that recoil is exactly what sends cheaper mounts loose over time. A solid one-piece base like this one spreads that energy across the whole receiver and keeps your scope from walking off zero shot after shot. The full-length Picatinny cross slots run the entire length of the rail, which means you've got room to slide your rings forward or back and nail down the eye relief that works for you. That flexibility matters a lot on a hard-kicking 212.
Built Light, Built Tough
There's a milled channel down the center that trims the weight down to right around 2 ounces, so you're not adding bulk up top. The rail sits about 0.4 inches from the top of the receiver to the top of the Picatinny, and in a lot of setups it leaves your factory iron sights usable underneath. It ships as a 0 MOA rail, making it a straightforward choice for the typical slug gun ranges the 212 is built for, and the ambidextrous design works no matter which hand runs the gun.
Fitting Your Savage 212 Picatinny Mount
Installation is simple with the included #6-48 screws and T-10 bit. EGW recommends torquing the screws to 20 inch-pounds with a drip of blue thread locker for a mount that stays put. One thing worth noting: this rail is made for the Savage 212 specifically and does not fit the Savage 210 or 220. If you're running a Weaver or Picatinny ring set, you're good to go.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which rifle does the EGW Savage 212 Picatinny rail fit?
This rail is machined specifically for the Savage Model 212 slug gun, matching its 4.629 inch long-action hole spacing. It is not designed for the Savage 210 or the Savage 220. Double-check that your receiver is a 212 before ordering.
What scope rings work with this rail?
It's a true Picatinny-style base, so any Picatinny or Weaver scope rings will clamp right on. The cross slots run the full length of the rail, giving you plenty of room to position your rings for the eye relief you need. Rings are sold separately.
Is the Savage 212 rail a 0 MOA or does it have cant built in?
This mount is a flat 0 MOA rail with no built-in cant. That's a practical choice for the shorter slug gun ranges the 212 is designed for, where you don't need the extra elevation a 20 MOA base provides.
How should I install the EGW Savage 212 rail?
The included #6-48 screws and T-10 bit make mounting straightforward. EGW recommends torquing the screws to 20 inch-pounds and adding a drop of blue thread locker to keep everything locked down under recoil. Blue thread locker is sold separately.
