Description
The Savage A17 trigger is great, and the rifle shoots well above its weight class, but the factory setup leaves a little to be desired when it comes to glassing it up right. That's where this EGW 0 MOA Picatinny rail comes in. It's a one-piece base machined specifically for the Savage A17, A22 Magnum, and A22 LR, giving you a far more stable and versatile platform than the small two-piece bases a lot of folks start with. EGW machines these in-house, then tumbles, sand blasts, and Type II anodizes them for a finish that holds up to real-world use.
What the Savage A17 0 MOA Rail Brings to the Bench
The Picatinny cross slots run the full length of the rail, which means you've got real flexibility in how you position your rings and where your optic sits for proper eye relief. The center channel trims down the overall weight, and in a lot of setups it won't block your factory iron sights either. Being a true Picatinny-style base, it plays nice with both Picatinny and Weaver rings, so you're not locked into one brand when it's time to pick rings.
Fitment and Setup on the A17 Mount
This is the 0 MOA version, which EGW recommends for shooting inside 150 yards. That covers the sweet spot for the .17 HMR and most rimfire magnum work. One thing worth noting: the rail fits the A17, A22 Mag, and A22 LR, but the A22 LR hole spacing changed on newer guns. If you've got an A22 LR, measure your receiver hole spacing to confirm it matches before you install.
Installation is straightforward. EGW suggests around 20 inch pounds of torque with a drip of blue Loctite on the screws to keep everything locked down through recoil and field use. Hardware is included, and the whole thing is made in the USA right down to the packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifles does the EGW Savage A17 Picatinny rail fit?
It's built for the Savage A17, A22 Magnum, and A22 LR. If you've got an A22 LR, it's worth measuring your receiver hole spacing first, since Savage changed the spacing on newer guns. Matching the holes before you order saves you a headache down the line.
Should I get the 0 MOA or 20 MOA version?
The 0 MOA rail is the pick for shooting roughly 0 to 150 yards, which covers most of what the .17 HMR and A22 magnum rifles get used for. Step up to the 20 MOA version if you're regularly reaching out past 150 yards and want extra elevation in your scope's adjustment range. For most A17 owners, 0 MOA is the right call.
Will this rail work with my scope rings?
Yes. It's a true Picatinny-style base, so it accepts both Picatinny and Weaver scope rings. That gives you plenty of options when it comes to picking the right ring height and brand for your optic.
What hardware do I need to install the Savage A17 rail?
Everything you need comes in the box, including the hex head screws and wrench. EGW recommends torquing the screws to around 20 inch pounds with a drip of blue Loctite to keep things locked in through recoil. That's about all it takes to get a solid mount.
