Reviews & Ratings for DNZ Products Savage All Round Receiver Long Action 30mm Scope Tube — 2 reviews — Page 1

I purchased this expecting it to fit out-of-the-box on my Savage Axis long action rifle since that model has a round receiver. The mount itself does align very well with the round receiver, but only two of the four mounting holes on the DNZ mount lines up with the four factory-drilled holes on the Savage Axis. My fix was to mount the scope mount to the rifle using the two front mounting holes and then drill and tap 2 new holes on my rifle's receiver. I had to purchase the right drill bit and tap size as the mounting holes on the Savage rifle is of a thread size that is common only in the firearms world (8x40). I also had to purchase new mounting screws as the ones that came with the DNZ scope mount did NOT fit the factory-tapped mounting holes on the Savage rifle.
Despite all the hassle (and I realize some gun owners may have to go to a gunsmith to do what I was able to do at home with some hand tools), but I was happy with the result and thought it all rated 4 stars overall.

This scope mount doesn’t fit the Savage Axis right out of the box. It required drilling and tapping two new mounting hokes on the barrel of the rifle as only only two of the four mounting holes on the mount could be lined up at a time with the factory drilled holes on the rifle. However, with a bit of drilling and tapping, the mount does fit properly on an Axis and provides the 29moa cant that I needed for long range. Quality is very nice.
