Say Killer (or anyone), please excuse my noobiness - I have many questions about what kind of bases and rings are the correct ones for my set up.

I have a Leupold VX-1 3-9x40mm scope. I see that there are generally 3 heights for rings: low, medium, or high. I've read that the lower the scope, the better. Will low or medium rings provide enough clearance for the bell on this type of scope?

I'm pretty sure my tube diameter is 1"... please tell me if I'm wrong...

Are there any disadvantages to quick release rings?

What are the pros and cons of 1 pc. versus 2 pc. mounts?

Lastly, it I've read that the rear end of the receiver has changed for the Savage over time - something about one style being flat while the other is rounded. My Mod. 111 FCXP3 looks round to my eye but is there a way to verify this?
