Title: Mounts & Rings Suggestions
Post by: WalleyeJason on June 13, 2013, 02:02:21 PM: I just got a new Leupold VX-2 it’s a 3-9 50mm CDS. I’m putting it on my M70 Shadow 300 Win Short. I’m looking for suggestions for a good set of mounts and rings for my gun & this scope.

I'd recommend a one piece base if you plan on using Leupold or Burris rings. Aluminum Talley one piece rings and bases are nearly unbeatable for the weight and price in my eyes. :twocents:

I run those NF titanium rings on one of my long guns. When mounted on a rail, they're the best overall in my opinion. I think with the rings, base, and inclimeter I paid just under $500. That was getting a deal as well.

I've got these if you're interested. You'd need a rail. EGW makes a good one.

I've got a couple Tally 1 piece mounts that are very nice also.

Post by: MtnMuley on June 13, 2013, 02:27:25 PM: If you decide to go the 20 moa rail route, I'd be grabbing those rings from jackelope. They are awesome rings, especially for that price.

Post by: bobcat on June 13, 2013, 02:32:37 PM: I also like the Talley lightweights.

I like the RAM mount sysytem alot, it allows for a quick hookset, and are very reliable...

Oh wait....

Nice try Skillet!

Post by: MtnMuley on June 13, 2013, 03:22:17 PM: LOL, I was wondering if you were going to catch that. With a user name that yours, I figured you would.
Title: Re: Mounts & Rings Suggestions
Post by: BULLBLASTER on June 16, 2013, 01:55:15 PM: my 300 RUM has a EGW 20 MOA one piece base and burris extreme tactical rings. youd probably be ok with just about any quality ring/base combo since that scope isnt too heavy and the gun doesnt have extreme recoil.

I went the signiture zee rings 1" (high) on my 300 wsm and the Burris XTC two piece mounts. I have 7mm between the barrel and bell. I have yet to read anything but positive reviews on these rings and mounts.
