Picatinny Rail for Savage Axis / Edge / Axis II - 20 MOA Quick Check: Is Your Axis Short or Long Action?

Every Savage Axis and Edge uses the same "Long Action" length receiver, regardless of whether it shoots .223 or .30-06.Fitment: Fits ALL Savage Axis, Axis II, Axis XP, Axis II XP, and Edge models.Mounting Hardware: Includes BOTH #6-48 and larger #8-40 screws to fit any vintage receiver.Elevation Note: This rail features 20 MOA of built-in elevation for long-range shooting.
Installation & Overview
(Watch our guide on how to properly torque and install your EGW rail).
Turn your budget rifle into a long-range contender. This 20 MOA Picatinny Rail is designed for the Savage Axis and Edge platforms, providing the extra elevation travel needed to reach out past 600 yards. By angling your scope downward, the 20 MOA cant allows you to utilize more of your scope's internal adjustment, ensuring you don't bottom out your turret when dialing for distance. We have eliminated the guesswork regarding screw sizes. Savage has transitioned some Axis models to larger #8-40 screws, while older models use #6-48. We include both sets of screws in the package. No matter which vintage Axis you have, this rail is guaranteed to fit out of the box. Technical Specifications

Savage Axis FAQ
Why choose 20 MOA?
If you plan to shoot long range (generally past 600 yards), a 20 MOA base is essential. It tilts the scope to give you 20 extra minutes of "up" elevation, preventing you from running out of adjustment when dialing for drop.
I have a short action (.223/.243). Will this fit?
Yes. Savage builds all Axis rifles on a single "Long Action" receiver length, regardless of the caliber. This rail fits every caliber from .223 to .30-06.
Can I zero at 100 yards with 20 MOA?
Most modern scopes have enough internal travel to zero at 100 yards even with a 20 MOA base. However, we always recommend checking your scope's total travel specifications to be sure.

This was my first order with EGW but my second 20moa base fire a Savage Axis. I received it within a couple of days which is a plus (fast shipping always is). The only issue I encountered was while trying to mount it on the action I found the larger 8-40 screws would not seat into the holes. I initially sent EGW an email asking if it was simply a QC miss but then later decided to just drill the holes larger myself. I got a reply from EGW yesterday (11/29/21) letting me know they had been drilling them to accept both sets of screws for the Axis and that mine most likely just got missed and also sent me a return label. I let them know that I had corrected the issue and that a return wasn't needed. I don't know if it was done prior to my reply or in spite of it but I later got an email saying that my EGW order was on the way. It seems that EGW is sending me a replacement base anyway. From the died of reply (considering it was a 4 day holiday weekend) to sending a replacement part I really didn't need... If I could give 10 stars I would. Looks like they'll have to settle for 5 and I'll have to get another Axis

Everything fit well and came with both sets of screws due to change of threads by company. Satisfied so far.
