Decided on Final Two Base/Scope Ring Selections

[MrChubbyMcLard]

I appreciate the help given on a previous thread regarding scope rings and base for a Remington 700P -300WinMag.

I've finally narrowed it down to two selections. The scope I'm mounting on the rifle is a Bushnell Elite Tactical 6-24x50mm Rifle Scope, G2DMR Reticle (30mm).

I'm just unsure as whether to order the low or medium rings.

Anyway, here are the two ring selections.



Seekins Precision Scope 30mm Rings + Seekins Precision Picatinny 1 Piece Base Remington 700 Long Action 20 MOA ....or




NightForce ULTRALITE Remington 700 Long-Action 20MOA Direct Mounts (1 piece)




I wonder if the scope bell will clear the barrel while mounted on low rings?



Thanks.

For the Seekins I'd go Medium or higher. Most of my 50mm objective scopes on a 20 moa short action base with medium seekins barely gives me enough clearance with scope caps on... which is how I like it.

I don't know but what dave said above me makes perfect sense. You probably aren't but is this rig for hunting big game?

i'm hearing medium seekins also for 50mm (reseach for my 5r). haven't yet done the numbers on the nightforce whether 1pc or 2pc. some also commented a medium seekins isn't same height as a medium badger also. so you have to do some number crunching.
