Savage 110 Ultralite Issues

[ahard.270]

Just picked up an ultralight and had an extra scope base from Burris laying around. Tried to thread in the 8-40 screws that came with it and the fit was a no go as far as I am concerned. Hoping to avoid running a tap I’ll try another base and see if the screws that come with it are better. I am thinking about the EGW base.

I just ran mine in there (Talley lightweight/highs). It was pretty tight but I put them in and took them out (once, and I saw some thread shavings when I came back out). My base screws were painted and that came off of the lower portion. I put some thread locker on there (came either my wheeler leveling and lapping kit) and torqued them down. All good now. If I have issues later I’ll take it to a gun shop. I put a Vortex lht 4.5-22 on there so I don’t think I’ll have a reason to change the mounts later on.

Here is mine with Talley rings, no issues at all.

Did you spray paint your stock?

Yes I did

Yes I did

So you just used painter's tape to cover the rubber grip portions? I'm considering painting mine.

Here is a screenshot on how I did it from a post a while back. Hope this helps. Very easy

Awesome, thanks.
How are you liking your Ultralite and NF SHV?
