I'd go with an "Accushot" 1 piece mount.  It'll hold rock solid.  Medium or high mount is your choice.

what is the difference between medium and  high and where is the best place to get one?

A medium height Accushot will accept a scope with up to a 40 mm objective lens, if you go with a scope with a larger objective lens, like a 4x12x50 or something like that, than you would need a high mount.  

Since you plan on using a 4x16x40 you can use a medium height mount if you wish to.  The 4x32 gamo scope you had on it no doubt used a medium height mount so if you were comfortable with the height of that scope as far as eye placement than I'd order a medium height mount.

You can get Accushot mounts in many places.  I usually get mine from   http://www.pyramydair.com/   and I believe in the "Bargain Gate" someone posted a 10% off coupon for pyramydair.  

Also, make sure you order the correct size mount.  They come in 1 inch diameter and also in 30mm diameter.  Also make sure you get the correct scope rail size.....  11 mm is the standard size

Hope this helps ya out.....
