Why We Made This Mount
Many Savage 301 12/20 gauge owners told us they had lost or discarded the factory optic mount—and couldn’t find a high-quality replacement. This EGW Picatinny rail was built from the ground up to meet that demand, providing a secure, lightweight, and durable base for turkey hunting and target shooting.
How to Choose the Right Mount for Your Savage 301 .410 Shotgun
A proper optic mount is essential for consistent accuracy and shot placement—especially on a break-action shotgun like the Savage 301. Whether you're hunting spring gobblers or improving your performance with slugs or buckshot, you need a mount you can rely on.
Why One-Piece Scope Bases Are the Superior Choice
Rock-Solid Stability – One-piece design eliminates the alignment issues of two-piece bases Built for Recoil – Handles the unique recoil profile of lightweight 12/20 gauge shotguns Optimized Eye Relief – Multiple cross slots allow perfect scope positioning No Flex, No Shift – CNC-machined from billet 6061-T6 for precise tolerances
Picatinny vs. Weaver Mounts – Why Picatinny Is Better
Although Weaver rails were once common, modern shooters demand more versatility. That’s where Picatinny rails dominate.
Standardized Slot Spacing – Works with both Picatinny and many Weaver-style rings More Secure Fit – Wider, deeper slots help prevent optic movement under recoil Better Accessory Compatibility – Works with modern red dots, turkey scopes, and shell holders
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I mount a Picatinny rail on my Savage 301 12/20 gauge?A Picatinny rail allows you to securely attach scopes, red dots, or holographic sights with greater flexibility. It also improves optic alignment and repeatability—especially important for turkey hunting or tight shot placement.
Is this better than the factory Savage 301 mount?Yes. Our rail is longer, stronger, and designed for MIL-STD-1913 compatibility. It offers more mounting options and better durability than the limited OEM mount.
Will this fit other Savage or Stevens shotguns?This mount is only compatible with the Savage 301 12/20 gauge that is factory drilled and tapped. If you need a red dot mount or rail for other Stevens models, check our Savage/Stevens 301 Red Dot Mounts here.
What tools do I need to install this?Everything is included: 4 screws and a T-10 Torx bit. Just add a dab of blue Loctite (sold separately) and torque to 20 in/lbs.
