What type of Scope rings

[Hoopty]

I bought a very nice Rem 700 5R in 300wm from a fellow Cal-Gunner. He left a 20 moa base on it. I purchased a Vortex PST 6/24x50 with a 30mm tube from Optics Planet (still waiting... I had a past credit and it was the last day of a 20% discount code, so I got the scope for dirt cheap). I need some advice on what rings to use. Something that will stand up to the 300wm.

I was thinking about quick release so I can use the scope between my 308 lwrc and this rifle...

Thoughts, opinions... Thanks in advance

I would personally dedicate one optic per rifle
That said, bobro (I think that is how you spell it) makes decent QD mounts

But I would use TPS, seekins, NF, leupold
Hell check out the Spuhr mounts if you want to get your crazy

Why not Vortex Precision Matched Riflescope rings?

For QD, American Defense (ADM), Bobro, and Larue are all good.

I would go with a one piece system if you will be using it on two rifles. Something like the Leupold IMS or Warne RAMP. GG&G also make a few one piece mounts that will work for you.
I am with exodus on the idea of one scope per weapon system.

One-piece mounts (usually the equivalent of high rings) will work...and get that scope up high enough for a really great chin weld unless, of course, your face is a giant sphere, like this guy:



Even low rings will likely require a strap-on comb pad so you can get a comfortable cheek weld...



Those one-piece mounts are intended for AR pattern rifles where the extra mounting height is needed for a proper cheek weld. Trust me, I know...I've already been there with the Leupold IMS...wrong application for R700!

Thats exactly why I tend to agree with Exodus, one optic per rifle. These two platforms are not the best for easily switching out one optic.

You want the lower (relative) rings for the 700, but need the higher (relative) rings for the LWRC... maybe you can run low rings and use a riser on the LWRC...

Here is a GG&G example. Optical center is at 1.06". It will prob. work on your 700, but it will be too low for the LWRC. The OD of the objective on your scope is 2.26". Divide that by half and we get 1.13". the 1.06" is not enough for the LWRC.

A one piece mount seems more ideal if it's on an gun that needs more clearance or if you need additional elevation. Since you already have a 20 MOA picatinny base, I'd just get a set of standard rings of sufficient height to clear your barrel--nothing too fancy seems needed.
