Go with Weaver Grand Slam bases (S46) and Burris Zee or Signature Zee rings.

Bases should run you about 20 for the pair, Zee rings are about 30 or Signature Zees for about 45 . So, anywhere from 50 - 65 depending on which rings you go with for a complete setup.

Mine wears Talley Lightweights courtesy of todbartell. Almost too short for my 3-9x Burris but it works just right.

I haven't bought a package deal, but I've heard the scope and mounts are crap and you'll end up tossing them anyways. Why not go with a proven combo that works like the Weavers and Burris? It's up to you.

try and get a 1-piece mount - preferably a weaver/picatinny rail, topped with weaver rings like Burris Zee or Leupold QRW/PRW or whatever. wont cost you too much and will give you the most versatility.
the mount holes are very far apart on Savages rather longish short-action receiver, so two-piece mounts like the Leupold and Warne will not give you much room for adjustment when mounting your scope.

its a 1-piece tactical style Weaver rail for $40.
remember to get the right one for round top Savage receivers. their shipping is quite fast and they only charged me like $3 shipping for a small part like this, customs didnt even bother with it since it came in a padded envelope.
the drawback of a 1-piece rail like this is that its going to limit the room you have to top-load the rifle, and on a Stevens thats the only way you can load it since theres no DM mag. the rail is relieved a bit around the loading port area however, to give you more room. if you have really fat or clumsy fingers i would stay with the 2-piece mounts though
this type of mount will allow by far the most versatility in mounting scopes, sights and red-dots and let you move the scope as far back as you need for proper eye relief.
