Happy New Year all,

I am putting together a Rem 700 in 300WSM (Thanks Ardent) and need some idea on rings and bases. I have a Burris Fullfield II 3-9 x 40 and I need some assistance in selecting the appropriate base and rings. In the past I have used tactical rings and bases and I obviously don't need the same for this application as it is a hunting rig. What is the best bet for base(s) and rings for my scope set up. I want something that will be economical yet bomb proof. I don't want it breaking on me as some of my cheaper adventures have....usually just when you need it...

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated...

It would probably be fine. I have a Leupold dovetail on my savage 22-250 but I think it is a very cheesy setup to mount rings. I would not buy another one.
 
Hitzy,

Are you saying the dovetail configuration does not work? Should I be looking at a tactical style weaver rail with screw tighten rings rather than the Burris/Leupold dovetail style?

Does anyone else feel the dovetail type scope mounts are no the best. As I mentioned, I have zero experience with this type of ring...

Leupold Dual Dovetail works great. I have a few rifles set up with them and the lack of moving parts make them very rugged. They are my first choice in scope mounts when I don't require a quick detachable mount. In my opinion the leopold dd bases with the beveled edges look way better than the burris dd bases.

I'm just old school and prefer the 1913/Weaver rail type setups.:cool: There has to be millions of the dovetail type setups out there so they are not bad or do not work as advertised. I just don't get the "bomb proof" feeling from them I get from 1913/Weaver rail attached rings.
 
If I was outiftting a remington rifle, I would use the Talley one peice lightweights. I had them on a Mountain rifle, they work great and only weigh 2 oz.
