Disclaimer: This page is dedicated to the Savage Model 112 with the long-action and a round-back receiver (LA/Round-Back).

_________________________________

Savage Model 112 is basically just a variant of the Savage Model 110 with a few extra features.

This is due to Savage’s decision in the late 1970s or early 1980s when they decided to introduce a numbering system to easily differentiate between the several variants of their now-famous Savage Model 110. Numbers 111, 112, 114, and 116 were gradually launched, and each of them signified a certain feature of the base model. For instance, Savage Model 110 with an American walnut stock suddenly became Savage Model 114; the Model 110 with a stainless-steel barrel became Model 116, and so on, but they were still essentially just Model 110 variants.

Generally speaking, Scope Mounts for Long-Action Savage Model 110 will also fit on the long-action Savage Model 112, but you need to pay attention to the shape of the receiver. Your variant of 110 can have a flat mounting surface at the back of the receiver or a rounded one. Scope mounts for flat-back receivers will not fit on rounded receivers and vice versa.

You can read more about The Difference Between Flat-Back and Round-Back Savage Model 110, but to put it simply: if your variant of Savage Model 110 was made before 2003, it has a flat-back receiver. If it was manufactured after 2003, it has a round-back receiver.

If you wish to learn more about the rifle, read our guide for Scope Mounts for Savage Model 110 (LA/Round-Back) where we wrote extensively about the model.

Best Scope Mounts for Savage Model 112 (LA/Round-Back)

There is another thing we need to mention before you buy a scope mount for your Savage Model 112.

Up to recently, every Savage Model 110, regardless of the variant, was tapped for #6-48 screws. However, some of the newer variants have the receiver drilled and tapped for larger diameter #8-40 screws.

This is something to keep in mind only if you have a Model 110 variant that was made after 2020, in which case we kindly ask you to choose the correct SCREW SIZE before ordering a scope mount. You will find the drop-down menu on the right side of the product’s image, above the price.

Picatinny Rails for Savage Model 112 (LA/Round-Back)

By far the easiest way to avoid any troubles with the diameter of the screws on the long-action round-back Savage Model 112 is to make use of the EGW Picatinny Rail. Since September 2021, EGW is drilling these rails to accommodate both the #8-40 and #6-48 screws. The head diameter on the #6-48 screws provided with this mount is larger than on EGW’s normal #6-48 screws, which is a rather simple yet very effective solution to the problem.

The buyers get both types of screws included when they purchase the mount.

There are two terms found for similar thing: quick release scope mounts and quick detach scope mounts. Term quick release scope mounts is used mostly in Europe and quick detach scope mounts is used mainly in USA, although they mean the same thing. With these terms we describe a scope mount that can be quickly removed from the rifle in the field without using any tools and quickly attached back on the rifle when needed.

Main advantages:

possibility to use multiple scopes on the rifle,
easy transportation of the scope and the rifle separately,
if scope fails, it is possible to immediately detach it and use iron sights.

FIXED vs DETACHABLE scope mounts

Fixed scope mounts are mounted to the rifle with screws and sometimes even with glue. This means that it is impossible to attach or detach the scope mount using bare hands without using tools. It also means that they are not meant for constantly being attached on or detached off the rifle. Once you screw the mount on the rifle, it normally stays there for a longer period of use.

Detachable scope mounts offer possibility to attach or detach them without using any tools. This is extremely handy while transporting the rifle and the scope separately and it also offers multiple solutions of different optics on the same rifle. Detachable scope mounts can be attached or detached from the rifle in a matter of seconds, using bare hands.

DETACHABLE vs REPEATABLE scope mounts

It is important to know and understand expressions “detachable” and “repeatable” while talking about scope mounts. Term detachable scope mounts implies scope mounts that can be quickly attached or detached without using any tools. However, when you detach this kind of mount and attach it back on the rifle, it is recommended to zero the rifle before using it again. Procedure of detaching and again attaching the mount will probably need a sighting in before next shooting, because mount will not be secured on the rifle in the perfectly same position and conditions as it was before detaching it off the rifle.

On the contrary, repeatable scope mounts are most sophisticated mounts. These scope mounts are also detachable, however – they provide removing scope from the rifle and attaching it back again without zeroing the rifle every time. This means that they are made more precisely and that they are offering a possibility of using different optical sights / scope on the same rifle. These mounts are ideal for hunters who can use optical and iron sights interchangeably, depending on the needs in different situations. With the repeatable scope mounts, it is useful to keep them oiled as well as the upper part of the rifle, so that repeatability is more ensured. With a touch of oil, the repeatability might be better, because parts of the mount will always return to their previous locations.

Different types of repeatable scope mounts:

Pivot mounts,
Dentler mounts,
Picatinny repeatable mounts,
12 mm dovetail repeatable mounts (for break barrel rifles, such as Steyr Duett, Blaser B750, Fair Combi, Fair SLX 800, Bettinsoli rifles, etc.),
Original repeatable mounts, made by manufacturers of rifles for their rifles (Blaser mount, Sauer SUM mount, Mauser M03 mount, Steyr Monoblock mount, etc.).

TIP OFF / ROLL OFF vs SLIDE ON mounts

Nowadays, there are a whole lot of different possibilities, made for attaching riflescopes on the rifles. There are also a lot of different expressions, having the same meaning. It is good to know that tip off and roll off mounts are basically the same thing. They represent quick release scope mounts for dovetails and rails which can be rolled or tipped off the rail vertically to the side of the rail. On the contrary, there are also slide on mounts available on the market. They represent quick release scope mounts that can be slided on or off the rail or dovetail from front or rear side of the rail / dovetail. All of these expressions are mainly used for separate rings that can be attached to the rails / dovetails. As far as functioning the rifle, it does not matter which one of these mounts you choose – tip / roll off or slide on mounts. If they are installed correctly, they are all going to work. However, the main difference between them is the principle of attaching them on rails on dovetails.
