born on a mountain, raised in a cave, hunting and fishing is all i crave!
I bought the Weaver #74 for my Savage ( originally .223/20, now 6X45mm/20), and the Warne quick release mounts. The scope is an old Weaver 2.5-7X. I took the leaf sight off and replaced it with a peep sight ( I have never shot any irons but peeps with any degree of accuracy ). The Warne mounts were a little pricey but work well. There are not many choices for a base other than the Weaver ( meaning that I didn't find any other choices ).
