So apparently I gotta go rail/base shopping as my new buy included some cheap glass and rings but no rail to attach it to. I will be upgrading the stock and scope by sometime next year so I would like to go for something middle of the road..(not cheap, but not spontaneous combustion of my wallet, top of the line.

 

Recommendations towards single or double mount and the brands preferred. Im new to bolt rifles to any info included would be great. Thanks

Do you want ring bases, or are you looking for a Picatinney rail? What kind of rings are they? If they are made to mount to a rail, are they Weaver or Picatinney (some rails will accommodate both). Good quality Picatinney rail for a decent price can be had at EGW. If the rings you have require specific bases something like SWFA or Optics Planet would suffice.

 

Good luck.

 

Adios,

I have a EGW 20moa picatinny on my 700 and its solid. Make sure to torque everything to spec.

I am unsure if the rings included are weaver or picatinney. The scope and rings are unidentifiable as to manufacturer. It's the varmint version so I reckon its just the cheapest thing remington/dicks could come up with to package. I would like to purchase something that would work with el cheapo scope for the short interim, then be able to handle a pricier scope by next year. I reckon a picatinney rail would be the go to choice (milepc correct?)

 

I will check out the two and see what they got. Just not sure as I have had no experience in precision scopes.

Picatinny is best, in my opinion, One piece is the most solid in terms of scope mounting and actually makes the receiver (even) more rigid and yes, the military uses them.

 

Picatinny is picatinny, weaver is weaver, etc etc. There are cheapy and super expensive rings for any mounting option.

 

Second pic is 5 rounds at 100 yards. Its definately not a sloppy mount!

 

I have an extra EGW remington 700 mount that I will not be using. it is for a long action. PM if anyone wants.

DNZ one piece rings/mount.
