What size mounts should I use for attaching this scope onto to a savage 17hmr with a bull barrel?

I don't remember the brand I used but I went to Cabela's and bought 1" rings because Cabela's will mount the scope for free so it's a great way to make sure the scope is level. I also mounted it on the same rifle, it's a great scope man. If you look in the "like items" when you're looking at the scope it has different 1 inch rings that you can also look at or select to add it to your order.

Hmm good q. I used 1" weaver on my savage .17 but with regular barrel. I have roughly a 1/4" of space beneath the scope.

Johnathan M , I put my Sweet 17 on a Savage Model 9317 FV 17HMR heavy barrel Bolt Action, 2 piece base with accushot picatinny/weaver Medium profile 2 piece rings and they seem to work really well so far.

Well, yes all that will fit. However, I must say that I once put together a similar arrangement on my Colt 6520. Way too cumbersome to have the scope mounted that high on the rifle, plus, for me at least, slow to acquire view.

Eric is right, the diameter of a rifle scope is too small for the adhesive mounts. I'd look at the "roll bar mount" instead.

I think it depends on the mounts. The bolt on my 223 hit the scope so I had to get higher mounts. There might be a site like techsales@opticsplanet.com that might tell you which mounts to use.

I think it would work, but I've only used mine on a Savage Axis in .223 Rem. It mounts very securely on the front sling swivel and the legs lock in place securely when extended. I haven't had any trouble with mine, but I'm not shooting a heavy recoil caliber.

If you're referring to a Savage chambered in 17HMR, then, yes, it would work fine on a Savage 17. The 17 HMR is a rimfire cartridge. It's not the only scope for that firearm. My neighbor has a Savage 17HMR and he put a Burris 3x9-40 scope on it and it works great. The Nikon is a good scope, but at a fixed magnification of 4x it is more limited than a 3x9 power scope. I only plan to go to 100 yards maximum with my rifle and usually will be between 60-75 yards. This Nikon scope does a good job at these ranges.

I am not sure, but after thinking about it, I am going to take mine off and use another wood screw on the forgrip. The reason for the change is that if the sling gets in a bind, I am thinking that it could bend the tube. Also, unless you disconnect the tube from the barrel, you can only put the band mount as far down the tube as the barrel connection. My connection is much closer to the stock and I think the rides a little low. Withe the 17hmr being at the end of the barrel, the rifle will be really low.

I actually have mine mounted on one of the magpul scout rail attachments! Good luck! Happy Hunting!

I use Weaver Grand Slam Steel 1-Inch Medium Top Mount Rings on my Ruger American .17. They seem to stay tight and are a good height for me.Good Luck! Gary

You won't need anything else to mount this scope mount you might however, need to do some adjusting with a file to make sure the forward bolts line up, I had to but all guns are slightly different

not sure, mine are on a savage model 16/116 fhss. I had a hard time matching up mounts and rings for a leupold scope. I call leupold directly and they set me right up. I'd call the scope manufacture and ask them. They will save you a lot of time and trouble.

You need either a swivel mount for a sling (sling stud) or a picatinny rail. I believe some of the Savages come with a sling stud but not all. Without knowing whether you have the stud I cannot answer your question. You can always have a stud added to your weapon.

I bought this adapter (http://amzn.com/B001CJ67E6) for the rifle and then just got the rings that fit on that mount. It worked perfectly and it looks great too.

I think you need the Picatinney/Weaver adapter...20 mm. I mounted my new NVto a standard 20 mm Picatinney mount with no problem. Good luck.

Don't know the specifics, but there are two sizes so one should fit the diameter of your scope. Make sure your scope will fit on the gun as well from a vertical clearance perspective.

If your swivel stud goes through the stock and is a nut/stud combo, I think you would be ok. If your stud is a wood screw type, i probably wouldn't use this adapter. My Savage 220 has a bolt swivel stud with a locking nut. It holds well. I would have no issue using this mount on a wood stock. The bi-pod is solid. It is perfect for bench shooting my 20ga slug gun. Sighting the gun in was a breeze with the bi-pod.

Use the 2 piece dovetail to weaver mount available on Amazon,then use rings included. The kick in the mosin is to hard to for the rings alone to hold the scope
