Ring and Base Recommendation

[fetch]

I have a remington 700 sps varmit in 308 and a Vortex PST 4-16x50.

What bases and ring would you suggest, and can I use low rings?

Thanks in advance

Fetch,

If you are looking for a strong set up within a budget, I would suggest Burris Xtreme Tactical rings and bases. The bases are about $17.00 and the rings are around $65.00. I bought this on someone's recommendation and have loved the system (now have several rifles with it). The low rings would be tight and I am not sure if it would work or not. I have a similar sized scope with medium rings and it has more clearance than I like. I think SWFA has a scope help chart somewhere on their website that could help with that.

Thanks for the info. I was a little impatient and bought tr viper hs rings low. Not sure if that was the smartest thing to do. I have a weaver base that I had originally on the rifle but may switch out for a 20 moa base

Check out my rem 700 300wm on the photo section. I used a 20 moa nightforce base with med vortex rings on a 6.5-20x50 viper.

I'm debating this for a Rem 700 KS Custom Mt Rifle I have in .338 WM. I'm going back and forth between a one piece base or a two piece base. Have a set of Burris Signature Rings I think will do me well, just trying to find the right base.... Assuming I just need a flat base, not one with 20 MOA or anything. Right?

I'm running a VX-III 2.5-8x36 as its my all around Alaskan rifle and its a very versatile set up. I'm not much a shooter past 500 so no real worries on being under powered with my optics.

Put an EGW 10 MOA rail on it and Leupold QD rings. Ive added the EGW 15 MOA rail and those rings on my last 3 rifles. Its a good combo

Why the EGW rail? Thanks.

Guys,

I'm sure its not the best setup but here's what I went with

Burris Xtreme Tactical bases and rings. I used low rings and it leaves about an 1/8 inch between the scope and gun.

Thanks for the input
