Amsoil advertises a
synthetic fork oil that is supposed to keep its viscosity over time, and has antifoam agents to reduce shock fade when things get all bumpy and sloshy. Sure it's over $10/quart, but any good stuff like Belray will run you almost that much anyway.
Another solution is to run 5W oil (so the viscosity pretty much has nothing to lose) and use cartridge emulators to dial up the compression damping to your liking. I'm not sure if emulators are available for the Savage, but that's what I did on my dirt bike.. works great.
