Rem 700 .308 base and rings?

[wolffo]

Hi,

New to the forum.
I have a Remington 700 VSF in .308 that I would like to shoot out to 1,000 yards.
I have a 20x Super Sniper scope that I want to mount on it.
Will I need an elevated scope base?
Should I go with a single piece base?
What height rings will work best for the 42mm objective?

Thanks,
Oliver

You don't NEED a 20MOA base, but it never hurts when you want to shoot 1000yds.

Rem 700 with base and rings from Glen Seekins. Very solid setup. Very well made.

Hey man what size rings did you end up going with I'm having the same problem

Seekins low will work fine with a 42mm obj and 20MOA base.

While about 50% more expensive, you would be very well-off using badger ordnance bases and rings as well. I like knowing that the base and ring combo can take wayyy more than what I can dish out (a-la US Marine standards).

That said, I've used Seekins bases/rings and they are very nicely machined and very solid compared to the usual "tactical" aluminum rings.

I shoot a 20 moa base and tps medium rings with a 50mm obj Leupold 4.5-14 mark 4 scope. No a 20 moa base isn't necessary but it helps use less moa in the scope body putting less stress on it towed the max elevation setting. Not sure that matters. I can get past 1000 very easy. I have Nightforce bases and rings on a couple other guns but they are no more solid than the tps rings and warne/millet steel base. More money for sure. I get very good accuracy and dependability with all the setups I shoot.
