Integral mounts vs rail mounts on Remington 700 style rifle
jakeweb:
Which do you all prefer for a hunting rifle? To mount a weaver/picatanny rail or do the Talley one price or Leupold dovetail style? Also if going with a rail, do you bed it to the gun or just throw it on and call it good? Looking forward to see what you guys are all running.

I don't care for any of the Leupold mounts. Dual dovetails are good, I just don't like twist in type mounts. The standard Leupold I've had but won't use anymore due to the adjustable rear windage screw. No need for that and it's just an unnecessary weak link. My Remington 700 in 338 I ended up using a Warne rail after first using Warne two piece Weaver style bases. The rail just gives so much more flexibility in where you mount the scope. In my case I couldn't get the scope back as far as I wanted it, and the rail gave me about another 1 1/2 inches. I like Warne's products, both their bases and rings. I also have Talleys on a couple other rifles, but again, they don't give you the flexibility like a rail will.

Do you bed your rail? Or just fix it on?

This is what I am putting on my 700. I went with a 15MOA rail. Solid build and fits the action with none of that inch overhang.
