savage edge

[hoyt5199]

Does anyone own this gun yet? I bought it in the 223 caliber and I was told by savage it takes #46 scope base mounts and a gun shop says it takes a 46 for the front and 61 in back. Any info on this situation.

Should be no problem to find bases for that rifle. Savage round top front and back bases. They are not the same base. There's a front and a back.
Same as for a regular old Savage with accutrigger.

I was able to put the mounts on but my scope will not seat right on the rings, would I need a different scope or am I doing something wrong

I need more info.
There's bases and rings then your scope. Give us the specifics of everything you have and we'll see if we can put it together for you.

I have #46 and #61 bases, 1" weaver rings that fit up to a 40mm, and a nikon prostaff 3x9x40

[jackelope]

Weaver bases too?

[jackelope]

#46 is correct for the rear.
Your 61 is wrong I believe. It shows as the rear base on non-accutrigger models. I think you have 2 rear bases.

U know, actually I don't think that's what he gave me, I don't remember what kind and am not around to see

[hoyt5199]

The guy told me 46 goes in the front,is is it possible to have 2 46 bases

[jackelope]

you need 2 46's.

So how does the edge shoot? Like it?

Check out the EGW one-piece picatinny base.  I have one on my .308 Edge.  A lot more versatile than standard mounts.
