Game reaper ded nuts scope mounts model# 18200 they are cut away from the action of the gun and won't interfere with the ejection of shells. Very nice mount!

Default savage 220f

I put a warne two pc base and warne medium rings on the same Leupold scope. I could not get enough eye relief. I went to a warne tactical one pc base, I couldnt be happier.
I used a aluminum one pc base on my sons Savage 220f and it worked out well also but I prefer the all steel warne one pc base.

Don't have experience with the Savage but I have used the DNZ's and Warne rings.

Using the DNZ's on my X-Bolt and my T/C Omega and using the Warnes on a T/C Icon. Either mount would be a good choice. The DNZ's may save a little bit of weight.

Would have told you not to go with a pica-tinny base!!! I had one on my Sav. and it interfered with the ejection of shell, you may want to hold on to the receipt!

There are lots of great choices for bases out there. For rings, my favorite set I've used under $100 have been the Burris Signature Zee rings.

Default 220f

I have the same egw 1 pc base on one of my Savage 220f it works perfectly well. When you eject shells do not baby the bolt, you have to work the bolt like you mean it.
I have one pc warne tactical on my other Savage and no problems with ejection.
