If you've ever wrestled with the two-piece bases that ship on a factory Savage Axis, you already know why a one-piece rail is worth the upgrade. This EGW Hunter Series base bridges the receiver with a single piece of solid aluminum, which takes alignment guesswork out of the equation and stiffens up the action. It's cut for 0 MOA, which is the sweet spot for most hunting and range work inside 500 yards, and the full-length Picatinny cross slots let you slide your rings fore and aft until the eye relief is exactly where you want it.
This one comes from EGW's Hunter Series, which was built to be shorter and lighter than their standard heavy-duty rails without giving up strength. It's machined from 7075 T6 aircraft-grade aluminum and wears a Type III hardcoat anodized finish in matte black, so it shrugs off weather and hard use out in the field. The edges are chamfered to keep it from snagging on clothing, slings, or brush while you're on the move.
The base drops right onto the Savage Edge, Axis, Axis II, and Axis XP using the factory scope mount holes, so there's no drilling or tapping involved. Every Axis and Edge shares the same receiver geometry regardless of caliber, which means this rail works whether you're running a .223 for varmints or a .30-06 for deer. EGW includes both #6-48 and #8-40 screws in the box to cover the different hole patterns, and it's a smart move to measure your receiver hole spacing before mounting to confirm the fit.
Since it's a true MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail, it plays nice with both Picatinny and Weaver-style rings, so you've got plenty of options for completing your build. EGW recommends torquing the screws to 20 in-lbs with a drop of blue thread locker for a setup that stays put shot after shot. A T-10 bit comes included to get you started.
Yes. Savage builds the Axis and Edge on the same receiver geometry no matter the chambering, so this base works from .223 up through .30-06 and everything in between. The bolt pattern is the same across the lineup, so you don't need to match it to a specific caliber.
The 0 MOA base sits flat with no built-in cant, which is ideal for general hunting and range shooting inside about 500 yards. The 20 MOA version adds forward slope to give you extra elevation travel for longer distance shooting. For most Axis and Edge owners, 0 MOA is the right call.
Since this is a true MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail, it accepts both Picatinny and Weaver-style rings. That gives you a lot of flexibility to pick rings in the height your scope and objective bell require. Just confirm your ring height clears your objective lens before you order.
No. The base mounts directly to the factory scope mount holes on your Savage, so no gunsmithing is required. EGW includes both #6-48 and #8-40 screws plus a T-10 bit, and recommends 20 in-lbs of torque with a drop of blue thread locker for a secure hold.
