[QUOTE="antelopedundee, post: 1710040, member: 107384"] Just got mine mounted on a Rem 700. I had an old Redfield one piece base already on it so luckily I was able to remove those pesky Allen head screws and replace them with torx screws. Way back when I'd replace the Allen heads with slotted screws. With Redfield medium rings there was plenty of clearance with a Butler Creek cover on it. 3/8 inch or so. ER seems ok but as you can see there's almost no room for forward or rearward adjustment. If you want a better fit or more leeway you'll likely want to consider using a picatinny style base.
