Since working at Bowie, I have had to mount several scopes with the rings we have. Cheapest I would go is DNZ.

I had actually looked about their 1 piece for a savage 220. Do they do a decent job?

I recommend a Weaver one piece base and Burris Z rings, the ones w/ plastic inserts. Only scope set up I’ve used for 20 yrs. The potential problem w/ one piece rings/base is lack of flexibility. One may not be able to position scope properly fore and aft since one can’t mount the rings in different positions. In my experience, the set up I mentioned is plenty strong and reliable.

I also use the Weaver base and Burris Z rings,have that set up on several rifles.

Leupold, those clunky one-piece mounts look like shite.

You may think they look like "shite" and you are entitled to your opinion but those one-piece mounts are rock solid and are extremely capable of handling the recoil of a .35 whelen along with dropping the gun.

They really don't. I've destroyed 3 sets of leupold rifleman rings in the 3 weeks I have worked at Bowie. Those things are absolute dogshit. The leupold steel rings are fine but those DNZs are without a doubt better.

I’m curious about the destroyed rings. What happened??

Stripped out screws with very little torque and snapped ring screws with very little torque

I use Talley rings & bases on everything now. I started using them on Weatherby Magnum rifles.

Those Rifleman rings are my go-to cheap rings. I've only used them maybe half a dozen times but I've never had an issue like that.

Talley lightweights have become my favorites for anything without irons. Leupold quick detach for guns with irons.

I've never had a problem with Warne on my deer rifles (30-06 and .280) or my .50 cal muzzleloader.

DNZ.
I don't understand the complaint that the scope won't be positioned correctly on a 1-piece. They offer different eye reliefs and different heights. That plus the usable length of the scope lets you put it anywhere you want.

For a heavy recoil guns like the 35 Whelen, or worse, one piece rings are awesome.
