[QUOTE="adjuster1111, post: 1939699, member: 112950"] Newbie here putting together my first long range setup and I'm wondering about the rings, and how to set the scope "true to the earth". I'm working with a CA TFM, 6.5 PRC, a Sig 3BDX scope, Sig Kilo 2400 BDX for distance and have a Kestrel model 0857ALBLZ coming for wind/weather. I'm stumped on what kind of rings and what height. Do you just order 3 sets of whatever and pick the ones that fit best or is there a fitment guide to suggest. The gun has a crank-a-stock, but would like it lower rather than higher. Also looking for bipod advice. I will be using it 50% hunting, antelope, coyotes, etc, and 50% off a bench. Would probably prefer carbon but it's not a deal killer. Regarding leveling the scope, what methods, or is there a device you recommend. Initially sticking with Hornady Factory 147 Gr Eld Match or 143 Gr Eld-X. I appreciate your wisdom and advice. [/QUOTE]
