[QUOTE="Mike433, post: 2421137, member: 119058"] Hi all, Upgrading the optics on the old Rem 700 BDL .300 RUM with a Zeiss Conquest V4 6-24x50. Don't want to have great optics on an awesome shooting rifle attached with cheap bases/rings. I've never tried a picatinny base/ring set up and was thinking about going that way with a Warne base and Seekins rings, but thought I'd ask for suggestions for a set up that will stand up to the recoil abuse of a .300 RUM. Not looking to go cheap, but not looking to break the bank either. Had a Leupold STD base and rings on a .338 RUM only to have that fail while checking the zero at the range the day before a Muley/Antelope hunt three years ago. Luckily I was able to borrow the gun of my hunting pal when it was my turn to shoot. I'd like to avoid that from happening again if at all possible. Nothing like taking a gun on a cross country flight only to find out that we have an optics problem the day before season. [/QUOTE]
