so my question are they the only base and ring that i can use ?, if not what do you guys recommend to use

Since finding Talley Lightweight mounts (ring and base all in one) I don't mount my glass with anything else.

They are available for just about every rifle out there including the 750 Rem.

Not what you want if you need to remove the scope on a regular basis (ala, quick disconnect rings), but if you want it to stay there you don't have to worry about the ring coming loose from the base.

Weaver makes bases for it. Warne makes bases,just to name a couple. I have leupold standards on a 7400 sitting in the safe. They work well. That scope isn't cheap so I would suggest maybe trying the burris signature zee rings on a weaver base.

That's correct. The base and rings are integral. The Talley Lightweights are the best system you can get, with the exception of a rifle with integral bases ala Sako and Ruger.

What ring size do you use, do you use the lowest possible ?

Talley lows will work with 40mm objective.

I've mounted a 3-9X42 Redfield scope with the low rings (on a Weatherby/#2 contour barrel), and with flip caps on the objective there is just a bare sliver of light visible between the cap and the barrel - so super close, which I like.

I used the low mounts with a 3-9X40 Burris and there is "significant clearance", again on another Weatherby (VGII).

I love the ring/base all in one and they are well made, no shimming/bedding to get them to mate snugly.
