Precision rifle scope ring/mount question

[MEGSDAD]

Hi All,
I'm planning on picking up a Savage precision rifle. Wondering what rings/ mount it would use. Looks like it would need an AR type mount?
Thanks

I like one piece mounts; you don't have to line them up! I put a Seekins Precision 20 MOA on my long range rifle and I am happy with it.

Make sure the scope won't contact anything other than the mount. Do you know what scope you want to put on?

You would first need to tell us what scope you plan on mounting.

Wow, nice man! What model did you get?

Those chassis bolt guns have a rail included so I think you're gonna want to get some nice rings....low rings.

Depending on what scope you get, obviously you're gonna need to get the right size and you're gonna need to calculate the appropriate height.

I've had good success with: Badger, Nightforce, and vortex precision matched rings. There are cheaper rings and way more expensive rings...so you'll need to do some homework. On the high end you could check out Spuhr mount$$. Do some research over at Snipershide and then you'll find good stuff at europtic, sport optics, camera land NY, and liberty optics.

One problem you will find is that a lot of stuff is out of stock/backordered...so depending on what you want/need you might have to hunt around and/or wait.

The rings will give you max flexibility. Don't get an AR one piece mount with offset....totally wrong set up.

Thanks Guys.
Havent picked up anything yet. Just doing homework. I'm leaning savage Axis 2 rifle in .223 since I currently reload .223 for AR. I'm new to precision rifle, so dont know if it uses AR mounts or rings. ( either?) I want to see if I can stretch the legs of .223 out to 600-800 yards. Open to scope suggestions. I wish i had a better budget, but looking in the $400-$600 range.
Thanks

AR pattern rifles use one-piece mounts because of the limitations of the platform:
1. The scope must be mounted higher than normal to raise it to eye level because the stock is in-line with the barrel. Bolt actions don't need to do this because the stock drops below the barrel.
2. The AR receiver is too short to use 2-piece rings without putting one ring on the handguard or mounting the scope too far backwards to be comfortable.

If you're buying a bolt action with a traditional stock that "drops", standard 2-piece low rings will be fine.
If you're buying a bolt action with the stock in-line with the barrel, like an AR pattern rifle, you can go with a one-piece or two-piece option, but will likely need it to be a "high" mount option.

thing may have changed since I last mounted anything but the Burris XTR (Xtreme Tactical Rings) always seemed to offer the best value when it came to 30mm rings but it has been some time since I last mounted anything that wasn't using proprietary rings aka Ruger

Be sure to check out CZs and Tikka's as well. Good luck finding any of the more popular models though.

you really should figure out the rifle/optic combination before deciding on the rings - as that will make a difference... especially knowing the tube diameter at the least.

SWFA fixed 10X mil or moa has always been a great scope that can get you to 1000 yards. I'm sure there bundle pack: scope, rings, sun shade, level for 299.00 during Christmas/after Christmas sale. I'm looking to do the same thing, but I'm going with the Ruger Predator .223 22" barrel that also accepts AR mags. I did pick up a Fujinon Accurion (Fugi camera lens) for 69.00 off of ebay. You may want to take a look at it or a Vortex Sonora 4-12x44 scope/mount from PSA for 159.00
