Picatinny Rail for Savage 110 Round Back Long Action
Share
The Savage 110 is one of the classic American bolt action platforms, and precisely for this reason, there are many mounting solutions, model variants, and vintages in circulation. This makes it important to choose a Picatinny rail based on the specific receiver and not just the name Savage 110.
In our shop, we use the term Savage 110 Round Back Long Action for Savage 110 rails designed for Long Action with a round rear bridge. This means you should particularly check the receiver shape, action length, and A/B/C measurements before ordering.
What to check before purchase
Before choosing a Picatinny rail for your Savage 110, you should check:
- Whether the rifle has a round or flat rear bridge
- Whether the rifle is Short Action or Long Action
- Whether the product page specifies Savage 110 Round Back Long Action or another Savage variant
- That you do not confuse Savage 110 with Savage Axis, Savage 93, B17, or Model 12
- Whether the A/B/C measurements match the rail you intend to order
- Which MOA variants are available for the specific rail
- Whether the product page provides special information about screws, torque, or mounting
If you are unsure about the measurements, you can use the guide for A/B/C measurements.
Round Back and Flat Back on Savage 110
The Savage 110 requires special attention because the rear of the receiver does not always have the same shape. Some older rifles have a flat rear bridge, while newer variants typically have a round rear bridge. The rail must be chosen according to the actual shape of the rifle.
| Designation | What to look for? | What does it mean for the rail? |
|---|---|---|
| Round Back / round rear bridge | The receiver is round behind the ejection port | Only choose a rail designated for Savage 110 Round Back Long Action if the rifle is also Long Action |
| Flat Back / flat rear bridge | The rear of the receiver is flat on top | Do not choose a Round Back rail unless the product page explicitly indicates compatibility |
Our note on Savage 110 Round Back Long Action products is therefore: This rail fits Savage 110 Long Action with a round rear bridge. Check receiver shape and action length before ordering.
Indicative overview of system lengths for Savage 110
The Savage 110 is not only chosen by caliber, but the caliber can provide a quick guide to the action length. The table below is indicative and does not replace checking the specific rifle and the A/B/C measurements stated on the product page.
| System Length | Typical Calibers | Important to check |
|---|---|---|
| Short Action | .223 Rem, .22-250 Rem, .243 Win, 6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Win | Check that the product page specifies Savage 110 Short Action if that is the variant you are looking for |
| Long Action | .270 Win, .30-06 Springfield, 7mm Rem Mag, .300 Win Mag | Check that the product page specifies Savage 110 Long Action and the correct receiver shape |
In our current Savage 110 Round Back Long Action products, the central distinction is Long Action with a round rear bridge. If your rifle is Short Action or Flat Back, you should not choose a Savage 110 Round Back Long Action rail without very carefully checking the fit.
Typical errors and pitfalls
The most common mistake is choosing a rail based on the Savage 110 name alone. The Savage 110 covers several variants, and both action length and receiver shape can affect which rail fits.
Another mistake is overlooking the difference between Round Back and Flat Back. A rail for a round rear bridge should not be used as a substitute for a rail for a flat rear bridge, unless the product page explicitly states so. Therefore, check the shape of the receiver's rear end before ordering.
Choosing based on caliber alone can also lead to errors. Caliber can indicate an action length, but the practical check is always the A/B/C measurements and the product page's compatibility. Always use the product page's compatibility, A/B/C measurements, and the specific rifle as a final check.
Finally, the Savage Axis should not be confused with the Savage 110. The Axis is a different model series and should be chosen based on its own products and measurements.
Material, MOA, and use
Choose 0, 10, or 20 MOA according to the specific shooting application and the variants available for the Savage 110 Round Back Long Action. Read more about MOA cant in the knowledge center.
Mounting and inspection
The rail should lie flat, and the screws should not be forced. Always follow the instructions for the specific rail: HG indicates oil on contact surfaces/screws and 3.5 Nm; Nieload indicates oil on contact surfaces, threadlocker on screws, 2.8 Nm, and removal of adhesive residue. See the guide to mounting a Picatinny rail for the basic steps.
Find the right rail
See the selection of Picatinny rails for Savage, and choose the rail that matches your specific Savage model, action length, receiver shape, and the measurements stated on the product page.
