Maverick:
Thanks for the kind words. Indeed the mounts are awesome. I still place a few drops of red LocTite between the receiver and mount to keep it very solidly in place, and blue LocTite on the crossbolts. Then again, I'm the character who epoxies my 1913 rails to my centerfire recivers. They ain't goin' nowheres!
Yes, now I have to get to the 50 yard line, and do a finish of the the zeroing for small game hunting, and then...shoot a target for a score. I also noticed the groups settled in as I got a bit more trigger pulling. When I shoot 300 yard centerfire for groups, I typically start out with at least 10 rounds of rimfire to ready my finger.
I'll try the Savage Mark II with both its iron sights and optic tomorrow as well. I printed out 10 rimfire targets, and 10 centerfire targets for over on Dale's thread. I'm good-to-go!

Thank-you. Yes, I was happy with the groups as per being fired off-hand. Regarding the Mueller scopes, yes, they are very nice. I tend to provide a link to products I have a favorable impression toward, such as Mueller. They aren't Leupolds or Nightforce, but they also don't cost nearly $2,000.00 either. For a point of rationality (the most scope for the least money on a rimfire), the Mueller is nice.
If I were to make the purchase again, I would purchase the Tactical version of the 4.5-14 for a mere $169.00!

The following is the link for the BKL mount in 30MM scope tube: http://www.bkltech.com/30mm_4x0_6_Rings_6_Screw_Unitized_Dovetail_Mount_p/bkl-360.htm
More targets to follow: iron sights at 25 yards, and optics at 50. Onward and upward! I already placed my targets & my sling in my rifle case. Memory isn't going to fail me next time...so long as I remember to put the rifles in too.
