Hi there,
I will get the Savage 212 (deer hunting) and I am unsure what scope and what scope mount to use as I have read in various forums that if the tube of the scope is shorter than 6 inches one has to use another mount and also I am unsure of the hight of the mount.

I want to get the Leupold VX-1 Shotgun/Muzzleloader 3-9x40mm scope but I do not want to use the pre-mounted Weaver bases but preferably the DNZ one-piece scope mount: http://www.dnzproducts.com/product/g...aper-savage-2/

My questions:
1. What scope mount is the most reliable for the Leupold VX-1 3-9x40mm scope?
2. Should I use rings or a one-piece mount? (Don't like the Picatinny)
3. What hight should the mounts be for this scope (low, medium?)
4. What scopes from Leupold and whats mounts do you use and can recommend?

Thanks!
