question for Savage mark II owners

[strawboss38679]

I am in the process of building my first trainer. I have the 20 MOA egw base ordered, bushnell 3200 10x40 scope, Chris Wallis is making me a stock with a Karsten cheek piece. My question is ring height? I wanna go with Bushnell tactical rings but do not know what height I need. Also, Who sells an oversized bolt knob for the Savage? I am following the post in this thread by Top Predator to build my gun.

I would proably go with mediums. with that base and a 40mm that would be fine. good luck

I have Weaver medium rings on mine - found them at Wally World for $6.95. I have a 40mm objective as well on a Savage MKII with EGW 20moa base and there's just about 4mm of clearance between my barrel and my lens. Perfect.

There is a link in the rimfire forum that US Handgunner was doing bolt conversions for Ruger 77/22 and other rimfire bolts. http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1507311#Post1507311

I think that AZprecision gunsmithing will do the bolt handles. They advertise all Savages.

I had to use weaver highs on mine. I have a SS 10x scope and a BC cap though.

Burris XTR low rings will <span style="font-style: italic">barely</span> give you enough clearance. You can use them with Butler Creek caps as long as you have a non-rotating front bell. Honestly, on a .22LR the XTRs are way overkill. Save some bucks for ammo and stick some "cheaper" rings on there. As long as the 'B' dimension is at least 1/4" as seen here you're GTG.

This might help a little. The pic show a 40mm AO with Burris med rings on a R/T mount.





Hopefull it will give you a idea of where you need to end up.
