Scope setup Model 70

[speedsterp]

I just picked up a model 70 and I am seeking recommendations on what setup to use for installing a Lepould Vari X 3.5 -10 X 40. The shop mentioned $300 setups. There are one piece mounts, two piece, removable with picanny rails etc. my scope is 1" tube. What s advantage of one piece. Mount versus the two piece mount, does gypun benefit with greater rigidity of single. Is removable such as La Rue Tactical good for bolt action.


Thanks

All you need is something like this. 2 piece bases and some light weight rings.

You dont need a 1 piece, or Picatinny rail, or anything that is "tactical"

Basic EGW 1 piece mount and good STEEL only rings. QD is a nice feature for what I personally like, but others don't depending on the situation.

Dont' need removable for a bolt action hunting rifle. This isn't tacti"cool" but hunting where you stuff actually goes places other than the shooting bench.

A base and seperate ring like Dave pointed out is what I'd recommend. A $300 mount system = the shop getting rich by selling you stuff that you don't need.

Leupold mounts are good as are Talley and Conetrol (more $)

I have the same setup with a 50mm objective and have never had any trouble with the 2 piece Leupold bases and rings.

I found this on Midway USA does this look like correct base. Do you use the medium high rings?

I like Leupold mounts,but use Burris signature rings with the plastic inserts to ensure no scope tweaking.Buying super expensive mount or rings is not necessary.should end up being $50.-$60. set up
