Really great quality - mounting holes not for all savage rifles with round receiver long action - DNZ Products Savage All Round Receiver Long Action 30mm Scope Tube

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.
