base and rings
« on: June 02, 2006, 08:05:08 AM »
I need help selecting a base and rings for a model 700. I leaning toward leupold 1 piece bases and medium rings but I have no experience with dovetail mounts. Can someone help me out with exactly what I need? PS the scope is a Bushnell elite 3200 3-9X40.

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.
