Savage 111

The low Weaver backup model will not readily work on a Savage 111 accutrigger model, the sight is thicker than the Weaver base for a Savage, so the overhang of the sight contacts the rifle's receiver. Not sure why Weaver bases are thinner for a Savage. Looking at Picatinny rail or shims, also possible Warne bases are thicker than Weaver. I have a XS set on a Marlin 45-70 and they are excellent.
