[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1531108, member: 2736"] With the recoil and velocity potential of the 300 rum, I would suggest a good set of steel rings and bases. If you get a good 30 mm scope, it will have plenty of elevation in the turret (Normally more than 90 to 100 MOA ) and a 20 moa base will allow you to zero at 100 yards and still have enough elevation for 1700 yards. If you go with 30 MOA bases, you will not be able to zero at 100 yards. The only time I recommend 25 or 30 MOA bases is for dedicated 600 to 1000 yard matches with no need for a 100 or 200 yard zero to keep the reticle centered for accuracy in the adjustments. I am assuming that the recoil lug you are talking about is on the base. and the answer is yes, it is an assurance that the base will not move and overload the base screws, I would also bed the base to the action for precision fit and insurance that the base does not move at all. For the longest shots any movement at all is poison. Just my recommendation. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
