EGW makes a good rail. Got a few of them. The best feature of a picatiny rail is that you can mount the rings anywhere on it. You can mount a scope with a short tube and get the correct eye relief.
Have also used the two piece Warne and Weaver that come on package rifles. These sit just a little bit lower than the EGW rail. The Warne are steel and the Weavers are aluminum. Use Burris Signature Zee rings with all of those.
My thumbhole 243 sporter wears a Buckmasters 4.5-14x40 in Burris Signature double dovetail rings in a two piece base. Very solid, but this scope has a long tube that facilitates mounting in the correct position. A shorter scope probably wouldn't work well with this set up. Check the mounting length of your scope before going with any two piece base.
