cant tell by pics but i thought i saw a 81 with this mount. Description about savage 300 breakdown rifle makes me think he meant a breakdown rifle chambered for .300 savage and hopefully a 8 or 81. Anyways heres the link:

These are really neat mounts. I have one on a Model 81 .300 Savage. I has some issues with the mount before I learned how to use it. That big center adjustment knurled knob is the key to the accuracy of the mount. If the tension isn't set right the scope will not hold center. When set properly, the mount will snap ito place and will hold the scope firmly to maintain accuracy.

in the gallery section of this website you will find "8/81 sights and scope mounts". In there is a Pachmayr side mount for the 8/81 very similar to this one. I don't know if the one on ebay is for an 8/81 because the hole spacing is different but they're unique mounts!
