Rem 700 .308 base and rings question

[DaveO]

Picked a Rem 700 adl on clearance from RK. Looking for a moderately priced base to put on it. What have others had decent luck with that doesn't break the bank?

My ADL wears Weaver aluminum bases and Burris Signature Zee rings.

Proly "upgrade" to a pic rail. Rifle shoots fine as is though.

FWIW always check rings/ bases for alignment before adding the scope. Sometimes stuff is made w error.

First set of bases I bought for this rifle were screwed up. 2nd set ( same brand ) was fine.

Mine have Nightforce and Seekins Precision bases on them. I like them both and they both have recoil lugs.

Whatever you choose, I would bed it to the action (not permanently). 700 Actions are notorious for being out of spec where the rear of the scope base mounts and bedding the rail will keep it straight... plus it's easy to do. At the very least, look at the fit closely before torquing down the screws to make sure there isn't a significant gap.
