I went full weaver aluminum bases and rings with my savage 7mm-08. Recoil is extremely manageable with that caliber, a tad more noticeable than hot .357 loads in a 5lb. carbine (which is ridiculously manageable). I spent time using lock-tight and properly torqued the screws. I am confident with my set up and see know reason to add weight for reinsurance. If I was shooting a magnum rifle that would be a different story.
