I would expect your Savage to have the receiver surfaces machined very true.That means all the ridiculous work I do is unnecessary.
The 22-250 is very modest in recoil,don't worry about the green loctite.

Are you going with a large objective lense scope,like 50 mm?If so,that influences how low you can mount the scope.In most situations,lower is better,but ultimately you want the scope so you can mount the rifle with your eyes closed,open them,and have a good,full field of view through the scope.

Look at Leupold and Warne Weaver type bases.You might check to see if Farrell is still making Weaver rail one piece bases.
