Scope rings and base?
« on: February 19, 2016, 08:56:23 PM »
30mm tube going on a 338 win mag.  Looking for suggestions for a base and scope rings.  Like to stay in the 150-300 dollar range.  Give me some good options..

I go warne or leupold. A set of mk4 rings and leupold base would put you at about 300. If you went warne you would be probably about 125-175 depending if you went to there heavy tactical style rings. Both are very stout and a bit heavy so if you are looking to save weight they might not be the right fit for ya. If weight is no problem they are rock solid.

I'd go one-piece.
If Deadnutz is an option, do that.

Lookswise not so much into the angular look or ones that clamp at the top.  Nightforce or leupold would be my choice

Steel one piece rail like Warne, either their rings or Vortex Precision Matched rings.

Seekins or Vortex PMR's if you have a $300 budget is what was recommended to me. I tried to keep it closer to $150 and went with a EGW rail and Burris Extreme Tactical rings.

If you're using a rail  I'd go with the vortex precision matched rings or seekins. I think seekins makes them for vortex. They're a solid ring and machined well. If you're looking to save weight  I'd go with the Talley one piece.

You guys make me feel cheap! I'd go with the Warne steel 2 piece base and a set of Burris Signature Zee rings. Total cost of about $75 and that scope will never move. :tup:

TPS TSR for me.  I really like that they're designed to torque one side down completely and then torque the other side, no criss-cross patterning when you tighten the rings.
