I now have a EGW 20 MOA hd scope base on my Savage rifle and even with the shortest rings I could find the scope is still a bit higher on the rifle than I would like.
I am having to use about 1.5 ins of foam under my stock pack to get proper cheek weld.
I am going to be replacing the base and I was looking for the shortest base on the market.
BTW the EGW HD base I have is a bit shorter than their stock base but I was wondering if anybody else makes a shorter base.

I believe the 20 MOA base manufactured by Millett for a Savage SA is a few thousandths of an inch thinner than the standard 20 MOA EGW base for the Savage SA. I recently measure the two for a project I was working on. However, your best option will probably be shorter rings. What are you currently running?

A steel base will generally be lower than an aluminum one.

Badger & Near make high quality steel bases for the Savage.
