Scope mounts

I am looking for a 1 piece leupold scope mount for a Savage 11. Would it be the same as a 10? Thanks  Ron

If both have the accutrigger then yes it is the same.  When Savage went to the Accutrigger they changed from a flat top rear receiver to one that was round like the front.  Newer savages have the same round front and rear receiver mounting.  The spacing and hole spacing is the same in the 10 and 11.  You may want to think about using a two piece mount however, while heat treating, the actions warp slightly, so you may fine you have to put a little stress on a one piece mount to get the screw holes to line up.  Larry

I installed the one piece base last night and it was a perfect fit.  Ron

You may want to think about using a two piece mount ........
If (key word is "if") the two piece Leupold is the same mount as for the model 12, you definitely want to go to Midway's site and read the guys' negative reviews of the Leupold 2 piece mount.   I was set to order the two piece and thankfully read the reviews first.  Leupold really screwed up on the design of the rear one as you will see.  One way it interfers with the loading and ejecting port, reversing it, it interfers with the bolt handle.   As purchasers on Midway's site state after sending back the Leupold for a Burris, (thank you, Midway) the Burris two piece is designed correctly and fits without any interference.
