_________________________________

Savage Model 116 is essentially a variant of the Savage Model 110. The numbering system introduced by Savage in the late 1970s or early 1980s resulted in models 111, 112, 114, and 116, which are all different variations of the Model 110 with specific features, such as stainless-steel barrels on 116s or American walnut stocks on older 114s, for instance.

This means that generally speaking, scope mounts for the long-action Savage Model 110 also fit on the long-action Model 116. The main thing you need to PAY ATTENTION to is whether your model has 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/Flat-Back) where we wrote extensively about the model.

Detachable Repeatable Scope Mounts for Savage Model 116 (LA/Flat-Back)

Henneberger one-piece scope mount earned our top recommendation for a detachable repeatable scope mount for a long-action flat-back Savage Model 116. It is manufactured in Germany, is made of aluminum, and has a 30-year warranty attached to it.

It will, however, need to be coupled with a Picatinny rail. We recommend the EGW Picatinny Rail.
