OK, I am sorry for not reading the title closely enough. I read the body and completely read over the word "rings".
I shoot my Eliseo on a Atlas bipod with a rear sandbag that rests on a 1.5 inch wooden plkatform to make the rifle comfortable with my head position prone. All of that said, I originally used Burris 6 bolt tactical rings that were 1.6 inches to center from the top of the rail. What I found is that I was too close to the top of the elevation range of my scope, even with the 20 MOA rail that Gary puts on the design. So I went with the new Burris Signature XTR rings so that I can even add more offset to the configuration. Now my zero at 100 yards is with in 1 turn of the bottom. So it is easy to return the scope to my 100 yard zero and I have oodles of elevation left for 1000.
ALso when you get it all together do a tall target test so you can calibrate what your scope is doing. I recommend that you go at least 35 MOA to make sure it is linear all the way up. Makes hitting the 1000 yard target a lot easier.

Around 150. Nothing outrageous but something that's reliable and well built.
I'd look at NF ultra lites, they are a machined ring and darn good. I see them for sale at decent prices quite often, but new will not break you.
If you're cool with that, then Ken Farrell is the guy. The rings are flat out excellent. Best I've ever worked with, and man that includes a bunch...

if you have the tactical/F class cheekpiece you can get by with 1" high rings, if you have the target cheekpiece or the windage adjustable cheekplate you'll need about 1.25" high rings (measured from top of the rail to center of scope) lots of good choices in your price range
