The Weaver Tactical Extended Multi-Slot Picatinny Base for Savage Axis is a purpose-built mounting solution that gives you the flexibility to dial in your optic exactly where you need it. If you're running a Savage Axis and want to upgrade from factory iron sights or switch between different optics, this extended base adds a full inch of forward length compared to standard mounts—giving you more rail real estate to position your scope or red dot without running into the receiver or limiting your eye relief. Whether you're hunting at typical ranges or pushing distance, having that extra mounting flexibility matters.

Built from 6061 T6 aluminum and finished with a matte Type III hard coat anodize, this base is tough enough for field use and won't shed glare like shiny steel. The design accepts both Picatinny and Weaver-pattern rings, so you're not locked into a single ring ecosystem. Torx screws with a no-slip/no-strip design and an integral recoil lug mean the base stays locked tight under recoil—no creep, no drift. Available in both short-action and long-action configurations to match your Axis build.

If you're planning longer-range work, Weaver also offers a 20 MOA cant version of this base, which tilts your scope slightly forward to give you extra elevation adjustment room without eating up your turret range on targets beyond typical hunting distances. For standard zero-degree mounting, the regular version keeps your optic perfectly level.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Savage Axis models does this Weaver Picatinny base fit?

This base is designed for Savage Axis rifles and is available in both short-action and long-action versions. Confirm your Axis action length before ordering to ensure the correct fit.

Will this base work with my existing scope rings?

Yes, this Weaver tactical base is compatible with both Picatinny and Weaver-style scope rings, so you have flexibility in choosing your rings and won't be locked into a single brand.

What's the advantage of the extended length?

The extra 1 inch of forward rail space lets you position your scope further forward on the gun, which is useful if you want a specific eye relief distance, need to avoid the receiver, or want more mounting options for modern tactical optics or red dots.

When should I choose the 20 MOA cant version instead of standard?

If you regularly shoot beyond typical hunting distances and want to maximize the elevation adjustment available in your scope's turrets without running out of upward travel, the 20 MOA version tilts the base forward to give you more elevation room for long-range ballistics.
