I bought a scope for this rifle and the rail was too big too fit it on. It looks bigger than a standard Picattiny rail. Any ideas? Savage bolt action 22LR model MKII FV-SR.

What rings are you using for the scope? You using dovetail .22lr style rings on a picatinny rail because they won't fit. Give us some more info. -

I'm curious as to what rings are being used also.
I have a Savage FV-SR and my 1913 Picatinny spec A.R.M.S. quck release throw lever rings/Leupold scope drop right on it with both rail width and slot spacing right on spec.
Although Weaver rings usually work on 1913 Picatinny bases, I have seen some Weaver rings that are machined a bit off that won't fit Picatinny rails."You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

I have some cheap weaver quad lock rings on my Savage MKII and it has a DIP base on it, they fit like a charm. Not sure other than to buy some different rings.Comment

It came with this rail on top, and I'm not really sure what else I can do to it. I am not very familiar with these things.sigpic

Keep the base, buy new rings. Problem solved. Are you attached to the rings for some reason? Any reason you couldn't buy a new set of burris, weaver, or otherwise.Comment

Used a set of Warne PA on my FV-SR, also worked and fit great.
