I need some help with a scope base. I have a savage 210f slug gun. Lots of recoil and I am about to order third cheap piece of crap aluminum base from savage. No one makes a one piece base for this gun other than savage. The gun does not eject very well with a non factory base. The base is designed to bounce the shells free of the action. Anyways here is my ? Is it possible to take may aluminum base and have it duplicated in steel? I would think it would be pretty straight forward as you have an exact template. I don't have a competent smith in my area to ask and I cannot find a machinist willing to make just one of something. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

The short answer to your question is yes. Any competent machinist could accomplish this task. The issue will be amount of money.

If it's not something to complex I'd Give it a go.
Can you send some pictures of the base And I'll quote you a price.

I will send some pics out tomorrow. Pretty simple weaver style base.
