Title: Savage 110 High Country scope rale screw size??
Post by: jrebel on July 22, 2021, 07:14:48 PM: Anyone have a Savage 110 High Country that knows what the screw size is for the scope rail?? I know my newer savages have the 8-40 and the older had the 6-48. I can't find anything that references what size is on the High Country. My guess is 8-40 but would like to confirm.

Thanks

Jrebel

Change it from all their other rifles

Not sure why don’t stick with one size???? I got lucky and when I ordered my EGW base, I paid the extra 5 dollars for the extra screws. It came with both sizes so I was set and ready to go. :tup:

Also got lucky and the rifle loves my hand loads that were loaded for my sons rifle. Shot a 5 shot 1/2 group out of the gates. No need to work up a load and can get straight to bear killing. Pretty impressed with this rifle so far.
