[QUOTE="John H, post: 195475, member: 10701"] Not to get the cart too far in front of the horse- gotta sell the ruger first. But I'm planning on installing a nightforce 3.5-15x50 NP R1 reticle on my M70 .300 winnie (Model 70 classic stainless- soon to be matte black finish.) I'm trying to figure out the rings and base options. Nightforce recommends not to go with aluminum on magnum calibers. The snipershide website has very mixed reviews of the Farrell bases- not 1913 std, no recoil lug, etc., Seekins are marvelous- but alloy, Near are a little pricey, there isn't much discussion about the Nighforce bases. Long Range Supply offers a break on the Badger rings - so I'm leaning that way - but I'd like to get a base figured out so I can figure out ring heights. Ultimately this is a hunting rifle not a tactical wanna be. I plan on working out drops to 500 yds or so. Based on the load development I've done on the rifle it should be ok to that range. To go further and its blueprint & re-bbl- I think. I am planning on a 20 moa base. John H [/QUOTE]
