I like Weaver 2 pc bases and Burris medium Z-rings for the Rem. 700. The one piece base always got in my way when loading. I mounted a Sightron 4 x 12 on a short action 700 using the Leup. bases and it put the scope about 1/2 in. too far forward... or the eye relief was too short for me. Everyone has their preferences but I like my eye close to the scope on small calibers and a long eye relief scope on the larger calibers. Its probably going to be trial and error for you unless you can find a rifle set up that fits you.
