Detachable Mounts

Savage Mark II is a series of rimfire bolt-action models that offers match-grade accuracy in a wide range of choices at a fairly reasonable price. The series saw a lot of upgrades and additions in the years since it first saw production, but Savage’s motto regarding it always remained the same: Everything you want in a .22 rimfire bolt-action rifle.

Most Savage Mark II models come drilled and tapped for scope mounts. This page, however, is dedicated to Mark II models that feature a rounded dovetail on top of the receiver. Such models will most commonly feature a 3/8” dovetail, but there are also some with an 11 mm dovetail instead.

Rifles That Have One-Piece Scope Mounts Interchangeable with Savage Mark II (Dovetail)

The necessary condition for rifles to have one-piece scope mounts interchangeable is that the mounting surfaces of these rifles match in every dimension.

This is why those Savage Mark II models that come with an 11 mm or 3/8” dovetail will have scope mounts interchangeable with any other rifle that comes with the same mounting standard.

Rifles That Have Two-Piece Scope Mounts Interchangeable with Savage Mark II (Dovetail)

Similarly, there’s also very little dilemma around the interchangeability of two-piece scope mounts. Any rifle that features an 11 mm or 3/8” dovetail will have two-piece scope mounts interchangeable with Savage Mark II with the same mounting surface.
