Savage 99 Scope Base - Leupold LE178126

The Leupold STD Savage 99 1-Piece Base (Matte Black), part number LE178126, is a precision-engineered scope mounting solution designed specifically for the classic Savage Model 99 lever-action rifle. Manufactured from high-grade forged and machined steel, this solid, low-profile single-piece base provides a secure and durable connection between your rifle and optic. It is engineered to withstand the recoil of standard calibers less than .300 Winchester Magnum, ensuring your scope remains zeroed even in demanding field conditions. For Australian hunters and shooters restoring or updating these iconic vintage rifles, this base offers a reliable, traditional mounting platform that respects the rifle's classic lines while allowing the integration of modern optics.

Key Features of the Leupold STD Savage 99 Base:

Rear Windage Adjustability: The rear of the base features two opposing windage screws. This design allows shooters to make major lateral adjustments during the initial bore-sighting process, preserving the scope's internal windage adjustments for precise, fine-tuned zeroing at the range.
Dovetail Front Ring Pivot: The front ring slot utilizes a traditional dovetail connection. This allows the front ring to pivot laterally, ensuring perfect alignment with the rear ring and eliminating stress on the scope tube during installation.
Elevation Shimming Capability: This base supports the placement of shims underneath the mount. This allows for gross elevation adjustments, which is highly beneficial for preserving the scope's internal elevation travel for bullet drop compensation.
Forged Steel Construction: Machined from solid steel, this base offers superior strength and durability compared to alloy alternatives, making it highly resistant to heavy recoil and harsh environmental exposure.
Low-Profile Design: Weighing under 100 grams, this compact base keeps the optic mounted close to the receiver, maintaining the natural balance and handling characteristics of the Savage 99.
