The DNZ Freedom Reaper Savage Axis Picatinny Rail 8-40 is a straight Picatinny rail that bolts to the top of a Savage Axis receiver and uses the 8-40 screw pattern (DNZ part no. LPR060). It gives the rifle a 1913 Mil-Spec mounting surface, so any Picatinny-pattern scope mount or ring set can sit on top of the action. DNZ machines the rail from 6061-T6 aluminum and finishes it in black anodizing. A 9/64-inch Allen wrench is provided for the install.

Key Specifications

• It is made for the Savage Axis receiver, which is the action this particular rail is drilled to fit.
• The rail uses the 8-40 screw hole pattern, the alternate spacing DNZ offers in addition to its standard Freedom Reaper rail.
• The profile is straight rather than the 20 MOA version, so the rail adds no built-in elevation.
• The scope mounting surface is 1913 Mil-Spec Picatinny, which accepts any standard Picatinny mount or ring set.
• The rail is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, a strong, light alloy that keeps weight off the rifle.
• The finish is black anodized, a hard coating that resists wear and glare.
• Base screws are 8-40 x 1/4-inch and are driven with a 9/64-inch Allen wrench, which is provided for the install.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which rifle does this rail fit? It fits the Savage Axis. DNZ makes separate Freedom Reaper rails for the Savage All Round Receiver, Tikka, Remington 700 and others, so match the rail to the action.

How is the 8-40 version different from the standard Axis rail? Only the base screw hole pattern changes. The 8-40 version uses 8-40 x 1/4-inch base screws and a 9/64-inch Allen wrench, and this listing is the straight rail without the 20 MOA taper.

What do I need to install it? DNZ supplies the Allen wrench. Attach the rail to the receiver with it, and the rifle is ready for the scope mount of your choice.
