Very good question! I can try to help... first; u wud like to get ur scope as close to the bore as possible (1 1/2 inches is good). this depends on what's on the bbl (usually a rear sight or mount) how high he stock comb is and who is shooting the rifle and how he is going to be shooting it. The Hawke 50mm obj lens is pretty big with a lens cap mounted. If u are going to order off the IN or from a store I wud get steel rings and mounts. make sure u set it up that u can return the unused rings. Try them and return the ones that don't fit. As low as possible without interference is the rule I used. I have similar rifles and finally used low mounts. Be aware that each manufacture combination rail and rings are going to produce a different clearance. If your stock is Monte Carlo u may be able to use different combo than is a straight stock. We had an issue with this and it took several tries to get it right. Final soln. ...std Pic steel rail...Warne Maxima steel rings p/n 213M low height. Even tho pkg said "fits most scopes w/30 or 36mm obj lens...they worked just fine with the Hawke w/50mm obj. Allows us to use lens cover.Hope this helps!

Hello if you are using the Hawke 50mm you will need high mounts in order for the scope to clear the receiver on the rifle. I would suggest steel mounts. Thank you

The guys here in the shop are suggesting high mounts to keep the bell housing on the scope from hitting.

Personally I got these mounts.AccuShot Picatinny/Weaver Medium Profile 2-piece 1-inch Rings They work well for me on my LR-308.

No, the Savage takes brand specific mounting hardware. I tried this mount on my 93R17 and it would not fit. The mounting holes on it are the same as the Savage 22LR models. I used the Game Reaper mounts on my Savage rifle and I like them alot. They are well made and sturdy.

I never found a scope mount to fit either. I received and returned four different ones. After I got a Remington 700 with Leopold scope, I haven't worried so much.

I used Primary Arms Deluxe AR15 Scope Mount, 30mm, which I also ordered from AMAZON. It is a very good scope. I enjoy it. Have fun with yours,

I use it on my 223 with a 24 in bull barrel and it works great, and at that range I recommend getting better mount rings.

I used leupolds mark 2 ims 1 inch mount. Solid rail mount and no movement. Little on the pricey but for a great mount it's worth it

I also have this on a savage 10, Remington 700 SPS and an AR10.the Millet low tactical rings work good for me. I got the medium first and they were quite tall.

A few things depend on the answer the age of the savage, also was there a scope already mounted? If not you may need to have the top receiver drilled to fit the scope Weaver slot base. If there was a scope mounted maybe exiting holes will fit the weaver slot base screws. And is the savage a lever action with top ejection requires a side mounting of the weaver slot base, As to top mount on the receiver. Hope this can shed some lite. I know this is confusing and you wanted a yes or no answer I don't know what savage you are referring to.

Honestly the mounts are really not that great. I mounted mine on my 700 .308 and they came right back off. The held up for about 15 rounds then my scope started to slide forward. The mounts stripped out. Also they made my scope set really high. I would look at different mounts.

I have mine mounted on a Savage 223 and works fine. I also have a P-223 on a Marlin 30-30 and also works perfect. Both are extraordinary scopes and very clear image. The M-223 should work well with your 270. BDL drops are great for different distances.

I use it for a savage 308. Little bit of wobble but wont collapse. Very heavy duty. I even can grab legs n use as fore grip. Works great. Also better than my old harris in the woods because no springs n such to snag.

I'm not sure if the mount I got was mislabeled by Amazon but the package said it was for the Remington 700 yet Amazon said it was for a Savage Accutrigger?I returned the Millett and ordered an EGM mount which works great on my Savage 110.

Just eyeballed my old receiver rail mount which i dont use for the same reasons below,but if you were to use one I think you'd get away with it....just.I'd recommend the trigger mod as well....Google is your friend.Hope this helps.

I have a savage 270 works great! it will depend if you have a flat rear base or rounded base. this is for a flat rear bass and for a long action not a short action like a 243

Definitely a 20mm base. Might see a gunsmith about putting heavier (bigger) threads and screws in your Savage too. One of my Savage stock threads was slightly off and would not hold the 17-18 inch pound torque (max for the Vortex before you risk crimping the internals). This caused a nightmare of constant POI drift for a year (including in competition). Had the rifle's threads drilled out and tapped to a larger diameter along with the base. Best $30 I have spent on a rifle. Keep in mind I shoot 308's that are slightly hot so nothing like 338 recoil.
