I got to do an interesting project the other day...
One of my customers has been trying to track down a scope mount/rail for his Savage 340 without success. (I know they exist, he couldn't find what he was looking for)
so... we built one!

A little bit of artistic design in CAD...


A nugget of 6061 about to go on a diet...


Let the mess making begin!


Some finer details to bring this thing to life...


And he should be off to the races!





And there you have it! Sometimes its easier to just make it and be done...
 
Wonderful CAD/CNC job done for a customer... I will do business with you any day. Thank you for the effort put forward to achieve this. Looks awesome!!!
 
Wow that’s I’ve been getting more interest on these than I thought!
It looks like I’m going to be building a few of these, if you want on the list send me a pm.

This one was going on a .22Hornet so I used aluminum to keep weight down (knowing recoil wouldn’t be an issue)
Let me know if yould prefer steel over aluminum and we’ll go from there.

Regards!
Paul.

Depending on price I would definitely be interested. Mine is in 30-30 so steel might be a better option.
 
I have a mount for my 340 in .222 but this looks nice.. i wonder what a guy would have to give for one...
 
I’m getting close to making these, if anyone else wants in, let me know ASAP!
My plan is to make these back to back on my 4th axis which should make things significantly more efficient and will cut everything (sans facing to length) in one set up increasing precision as well. Stay tuned for pictures!

Do you have a price in mind? I have one of the Bsquare mounts which has worked good but i find the scope sits a little high with it. Definitely interested
 
Redbirddog: I would love to build hundreds of these, unfortunately that would be too costly/time consuming to do out of pocket at this time.

Dand883: price is $150+shipping. These will be steel and will be beadblasted/hot blued.

Been making chips!

It took some new planning to be able to make these more efficiently (the first one-off was about 6 setups in the vise, dialing and picking up zero every time).

This way I'm making these two at a time, back to back(obviously) and all in one set up.




Just givin'er!


Ready to split/face to length.


There's a lot of material that comes off of these!


And there isn't ton of clamping options once they're profiled so I built a fixture that permits cutting and facing.


More to come!...

First batch is blued and ready to go!
These are all spoken for but I've got a contact list started for a second batch so if anyone wants in, let me know.

Hi my name is Dale and I want one in steel> I live in Edmonton so could do a pick up and save shipping> Let me know when and how you would like me to pay please
 
PM sent Dale.

Bomber, that brings up a good point. Could you measure the hole distances on your 840 for me? I'll send you a sketch of the dimensions I'm after...
