Pay attention to the scope length and what you will need to make it work for you on a Savage short action. Sometimes depending on specs you dont have much wiggle room between the bells and turret to get the relief where you need it without getting a rail. Them light weight hunters are pretty cool so im assuming keeping the weight reasonable is part of your goal.

Hankins sells a pretty nice Savage 7075 rail but only in 20MOA. At $55 its one of the better priced options and wont add much weight.
