Savage Arms Multi-Slot Tactical Bases: Elevate Your Precision Shooting Experience

For serious shooters, whether you're a long-range enthusiast, a dedicated hunter, or a competitive marksman, the foundation of impeccable accuracy lies not just in your rifle and optic, but in the crucial link between them: the scope base. Are you seeking to unlock the full potential of your Savage 110 Short Action rifle, facing challenges like limited scope mounting options, difficulties in achieving optimal eye relief, or struggling with inconsistent shot placement at extended ranges? The answer to these common dilemmas and more can be found in a meticulously engineered upgrade: the Savage Arms Multi-Slot Tactical Bases.

Designed specifically for the Savage 110 Round Receiver, Short Action models (including many variations like Savage 10, 11, 12, 14, and 16 short action rifles with round receivers), these innovative Picatinny bases are an essential enhancement for anyone looking to maximize their rifle's performance. They address the core need for versatility, stability, and precise optic alignment, transforming a standard setup into a high-performance system ready for demanding conditions.

Why Upgrade to a Multi-Slot Tactical Base? Understanding the Core Benefits

What tangible improvements can you expect by integrating these tactical bases into your shooting setup? It boils down to superior optic mounting flexibility, enhanced rifle performance, and a significant boost in reliability.

• Expanded Mounting Possibilities: The primary advantage of these bases is their inherent flexibility. By providing an additional 1 inch of forward length compared to standard bases, they dramatically increase the available real estate for mounting your scope. This extra length is invaluable for achieving optimal eye relief, especially with larger optics or those with generous eye boxes, ensuring a comfortable and consistent sight picture every time you shoulder your rifle. No more compromising on scope position or struggling with awkward setups.
• Unwavering Optic Stability: At the heart of precision shooting is stability. Manufactured from robust 6061 T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, these bases offer an incredibly rigid platform for your optic. This material choice is critical, providing excellent strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to flex, which can otherwise introduce subtle but detrimental shifts in your point of aim.
• Corrosion Resistance and Durability: The bases are protected by a matte, Type III hard coat anodized finish. This advanced surface treatment creates an extremely hard, non-reflective layer that is highly resistant to abrasion, scratches, and corrosion. Whether you're navigating dense brush, enduring harsh weather conditions, or simply handling your rifle frequently, this finish ensures your base remains pristine and functional for years to come.
• Recoil Management for Consistent Performance: An often-overlooked feature, the integral recoil lug is a game-changer. This small but mighty component is designed to absorb the powerful forces generated during recoil, preventing the scope from shifting forward or backward in its mounts. This ensures your zero remains rock-solid, shot after shot, critical for maintaining accuracy over long strings of fire or during rapid follow-up shots. Without an effective recoil lug, even the most expensive optics can experience gradual POI (point of impact) shifts, leading to frustration and missed targets.
• Secure Installation with No-Slip/Strip Hardware: The inclusion of robust Torx screws for mounting is a testament to the base's engineering integrity. Torx head screws offer superior torque transfer compared to traditional slotted or Phillips head screws, significantly reducing the risk of stripping the screw head during installation or removal. This ensures a tight, secure fit that withstands recoil and environmental stressors, providing peace of mind that your optic base is firmly attached.
• Versatile Optic Compatibility: These multi-slot bases are engineered for broad compatibility, specifically designed to accept both Picatinny and Weaver-style rings. This universal acceptance means you're not locked into a specific brand or type of scope ring, offering you the freedom to choose from a vast array of high-quality optics and mounting solutions available at reputable dealers like DEGuns.

Demystifying MOA Cant: 0 MOA vs. 20 MOA for Precision Shooting

One of the most critical choices when selecting a scope base for long-range shooting is the Minute of Angle (MOA) cant. These Savage Arms bases are available in two crucial configurations: standard zero cant and 20 MOA cant. Understanding the difference is vital for optimizing your rifle's performance.

• Standard Zero Cant (0 MOA): A 0 MOA base provides a perfectly level mounting surface for your scope relative to your rifle's bore. This is the traditional choice for most general-purpose shooting, especially at shorter to medium ranges (typically out to 300-400 yards, depending on cartridge and scope). For many hunters or recreational shooters who primarily engage targets within these distances, a 0 MOA base will suffice, allowing them to utilize their scope's full internal elevation adjustment range around their zero.
• 20 MOA Cant for Extended Range Optic Adjustment: For long-range shooters, competitive marksmen, or anyone planning to engage targets beyond 500 yards, a 20 MOA (or sometimes 30 MOA) canted base is highly recommended. What does 20 MOA cant mean? It means the scope base is angled downwards by 20 minutes of angle from front to back, effectively pre-loading your scope's internal elevation adjustment. When you mount your scope on a 20 MOA base, you are essentially "pointing" the front of the scope slightly downwards relative to the bore. This allows you to use more of your scope's precious internal elevation adjustment for dialing in extreme long-range shots. Without a canted base, you might "run out" of elevation adjustment in your scope before reaching your desired long-range target, especially with cartridges that experience significant bullet drop. The 20 MOA cant ensures that you have ample adjustment available for those challenging, distant engagements, maximizing your scope's optical capabilities.

Who Can Benefit from These Tactical Bases? Real-World Applications

These Savage Arms Multi-Slot Tactical Bases are not just an accessory; they are a performance multiplier for specific types of shooters and situations.

• Long-Range Precision Shooters: For those pushing the boundaries of rifle accuracy at extended distances, the 20 MOA cant option is indispensable. It ensures your scope has the necessary elevation adjustment to compensate for significant bullet drop over hundreds or even thousands of yards, allowing for precise holds and accurate impacts.
• Hunters Requiring Versatility: Whether you're hunting in dense forests where quick, close-range shots are common, or across open plains demanding precise long-distance engagements, the flexibility of these bases is invaluable. The extra mounting length helps accommodate various optic sizes, including those with thermal or night vision clip-ons, ensuring optimal setup for any hunting scenario.
• Competitive Marksmen: In disciplines like PRS (Precision Rifle Series) or F-Class, every detail matters. The robust construction, integral recoil lug, and secure Torx screws contribute to unparalleled zero retention, giving competitors confidence in their equipment during high-stakes matches.
• Tactical Enthusiasts and Law Enforcement: For applications where reliability and rapid target acquisition are paramount, these bases provide a sturdy, dependable platform for mission-critical optics. The durable anodized finish resists wear and tear in harsh environments.
• Anyone Upgrading a Savage 110 Short Action: If you own a Savage 110 Round Receiver (Short Action) rifle and feel limited by your current mounting options or desire a more robust, future-proof solution for your optics, these bases offer a significant, impactful upgrade.

The Craftsmanship Behind the Performance

What makes these Savage Arms tactical bases a reliable choice? It's the meticulous attention to material science and engineering principles.

• Aerospace-Grade 6061 T6 Aluminum: This specific aluminum alloy is renowned for its strength, corrosion resistance, and excellent machinability. It’s a workhorse material in demanding applications like aerospace components and high-performance automotive parts, ensuring that the base can withstand the extreme forces of recoil without compromising structural integrity. The T6 temper indicates that the aluminum has undergone a specific heat treatment process to achieve maximum hardness and tensile strength, making it incredibly durable yet surprisingly lightweight, adding minimal bulk to your rifle.
• Type III Hard Coat Anodization: This is not just a paint job. Type III (or "hardcoat") anodizing is an electrochemical process that grows a thick, dense, and extremely hard layer of aluminum oxide on the surface of the aluminum. This layer is significantly harder than steel, providing exceptional resistance to abrasion, scratching, and wear, far surpassing the protection offered by standard Type II anodizing. Furthermore, the matte finish minimizes glare and reflections, crucial for tactical applications or hunting where stealth is key. This finish also prevents corrosion, protecting the base from moisture, salts, and other environmental contaminants.
• Precision Machining: Each base is precisely machined to exacting tolerances, ensuring a perfect fit with your Savage 110 Round Receiver, Short Action rifle. This precision is critical for maintaining bore-to-optic alignment, which directly translates to consistent accuracy downrange. Sloppy manufacturing can introduce cant or misalignment, negating the benefits of a high-quality optic.

Installation and Maintenance Considerations

While the Savage Arms Multi-Slot Tactical Bases are designed for straightforward installation, proper mounting is crucial for achieving optimal performance. Always refer to your rifle's manual and the base's instructions for specific torque specifications. Using a quality torque wrench is highly recommended to ensure screws are tightened to the correct setting, preventing both over-tightening (which can strip threads or deform components) and under-tightening (which can lead to optic shift under recoil). The Torx screws included with these bases are specifically chosen for their superior engagement, providing a more reliable and secure fit when properly torqued. Regular cleaning of the base and mounting screws, along with periodic checks for tightness, will ensure long-term reliability and performance. When cleaning, use appropriate gun cleaning solvents and brushes, being mindful of the anodized finish.
