[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1665489, member: 9308"] Congratulations on your new rifle! I'd shoot it first, before bedding it, to see if you even need to bother. As for a mount, I'm a simple guy - I vote for the Talley Picatinny 20 MOA 'long action' base for $47 [URL]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DB822V8/?tag=lrhmag19-20[/URL] [ATTACH=full]139852[/ATTACH] As for rings, it looks like you will just be able to get by with MEDIUM height rings with this mount and objective size. Not sure of the barrel contour, so hopefully I'm not steering you wrong here. Closer to the bore is best, so 'test fit' before screwing things down in case you have to exchange for "high" rings (but I think you are going to be okay at "medium".) I'm a big fan of BURRIS SIGNATURE SERIES rings with the ***-Align (polymer) inserts as they don't mar your scope, they grip it really well, and they don't need to be lapped.
