Savage is notorious for needing a multi-slot base in order to achieve proper eye relief on the scope. My front rings are all set right in the middle of the closed bolt in order to get the scope far enough back. A 2 piece (even with 1 extended slot) positions the scope much much too forward with no way of correcting it (except to reduce lop which isn't optimal).
A 1 piece multi slot base is the way to go if you want to get it right the first time. If concerned about weight, Murphy Precision makes a 1 piece titanium (it's pricey) that saves about 4 ounces.
