Personally, I like full length rails and Burris Signature Zee rings.
I presume your rifle has a round back receiver.
The following rail mounts should fit your short action round back receiver:
Weaver 48338 MULTI SLOT 0 MOA SAVAGE short action rail
Weaver 99495 EXTENDED MULTI SLOT BASE 0 MOA SAVAGE short action rail
Weaver 99496 EXTENDED MULTI SLOT BASE 20MOA Savage short action rail
Weaver 48338 MULTI SLOT 0moa SAVAGE short action rail
EGW 41000 Savage Short Action Round Back 0 MOA rail
EGW 41002 Savage Short Action Round Back 20 MOA rail
You should not need a 20 MOA rail unless you are planning to shoot long ranges.
If you go on the Burris website, they have the specifications for the Signature Zee rings. Take those numbers and your scope measurements, and you should be able to figure out what height rings to use. My guess is that the low rings will work, but you should do the math yourself to make sure.
As I see it, the advantages of the Burris Signature Zee rings are:
A. They have different inserts so you can mount and boresight your scope while keeping the scope adjustment closer to the center of the adjustment range.
B. They don't mark up your scope when you mount it.
C. They hold the scope firmly. I have never know of a properly mounted scope in Burris Signature Zee rings moving under recoil.
D. They eliminate the need to lap the rings. Because the inserts can move within the mounts, the mount does not stress the scope at all.
I would do a search on this forum (and others) to see any suggestions for mounting and boresighting your scope, and since it is your first time, I would get with someone who has some experience mounting scopes and do it with them if possible.
Burris Rings are available at all the usual mail order firearms supply places (they are popular, so they are often out of stock): ... However, I have found the best prices for rails are at a place called "JoeBob Outfitters."
Sometimes you can find used rings or rails on sale in the classifieds here.
Most forum members agree that $15.00 for a paid membership (which gives you access to the classifieds) is a good deal.
