[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 2382833, member: 5219"] It depends on the length of scope and how large a front objective bell. A rail system allows you more movement of the scope fore and aft for proper eye relief. Agree also that is handy for removing for a different scope. Looking at a pic of your rifle now. It is a beautiful lightweight sporter. I would consider two non rail bases and rings. Something like a set of Leupold DD rings and bases are very nice and strong IF your scope fits within the parameters. In most situations the scope can be mounted lower than a rail system, which helps with your relatively low stock, you can get a good cheek weld without a stock pack or some other cheek riser and the system is lighter. I have this setup on a 9 lb sporter hunting rifle in 300 RUM, a 7 1/2 lb 338 RCM and a few other sporter weight rifles. [/QUOTE]
