I don't think they have made em for Savages in quite a while. The dual dovetails are a very solid darn near bulletproof setup and I'm not sure why the Savage bases were discontinued.
The last set I wound up with came as a special request through customer service at Leupold. (great experience)
I bought a set of dual dovetail rings and standard bases and had customer service send me another front (dovetail) ring to reverse and use on the rear.
This was on a roundback (accutrigger) action and my Bushnell Elite tube was long enough so it worked out.
Somebody somewhere may have a set of new old stock for a flatback sitting on a shelf but they would probably be near impossible to find.
Medium height dual dovetail rings have worked very well for me in the past with a 1" tube and 40mm objective.
Good luck and it sounds like your buddy was steering you into a good, quality, solid and maintenance free setup.
