[QUOTE="Autorotate, post: 368639, member: 8073"] I would regard Near MFG and Murphy Precision as the finest bases you can buy. Seekins can make you a base that ties into a recoil lug which is unique. His products are in great demand, and so are sometime hard to come by. Farrel makes very high quality base/rings, however Farrel bases are a smidge taller than others, so this may present a cheek weld issue depending on your specific application (base MOA, scope objective, non adjustable cheek, etc). An EGW base/rings enabled a 1K++ yd successful shot this year on one of my rifles; they represent a very good value in base/rings. Aluminum will save you some weight. Steel will be stronger. Titanium will be pricey:) In summary, hard to go wrong with either Murphy, Near, Seekins, Farrell or EGW, in my opinion. (These are just the names I have experience with) [/QUOTE]
