Apologize in advance if this has already been discussed but did a search and could not find an answer anywhere. Just picked up a Savage Axis II at a local well known trading post in New England in .270 for the upcoming deer season. I went with it due to budget and the fact that I will not be shooting past 150 yards MAX where I hunt. I'm sure many will have an opinion on better options but this is the one I went with since the money was right, and it will be trounced around in the woods, deer stands, etc... I bought a vortex Diamondback scope and asked them to mount it. Problem is, they could not find ANY setup that would accommodate. Main issue is they need #8-40 screws to mount it. I have scope rings but they are made for a picatinny rail which I would prefer to use anyways. Looked on line and found EGW that makes them on Amazon with the #8-40 screws but it doesn't say it is for the Savage Axis II. The ones I found are for Winchesters.
Don't want to hunt around for the right one without knowing it will fit properly. I also don't want to drill out the holes on the rail and buy the #8-40 screws and to be honest I don't think I should have to. Anyone else run into this and have a recommendation? Thanks in advance!
