I ended up going with a one piece Leupold picatinny rail from Midway USA.
I just bought from the classified section here a 3.5x10x40 VX3 should work well on the 300 WSM Savage.
It should be good, I use Talley bases and Split rings on my Savage volt guns. You will like the short mag, less recoil than a 300 Win mag. I load 150 Barnes for mine.
