I am looking for a base, and have pretty much decided to go with the EGW for the value. I see MidwayUSA offers two types - a regular one piece and then there is a heavy duty base. The regular base is $40 and the heavy duty is $68, or something close to that. I was thinking the .308 cartridge would probably be fine with the $40 base. Is that correct?
Absolutely correct!

Is the "heavy duty" base the "HD Low"? If so, I have two and like them a bit better than the regular ones. Not because of the "HD" part, more because of the "Low" part. They are a bit thinner than the regular bases and keep the scope a little tighter to the barrel/bore.
I found that the standard base will do just fine.
I sent you a PM.
Personally I would go for the one piece Tally's which include the rings. Less expensive quality mount at half the cost (or less) of a base/ring combo.
Check out this EGW mount for Savage round back short action #4015 is three inches longer for prone and 1000 Yard shooting, have one on my BAS/K rifle
I'd also look at the new Weaver Tactical bases. They are thin like the EGW HD's but cheap like the regular EGW's.
I've heard very good reports about them.
