Cali_Ed Posted August 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) To much in which way brother? That's what I have on my 308 ar, I figured I'd just substitute until I got money for the rings. So if I go with rings will I want to go with the lowest I can go? Also would it be best to get matching rings to the rail? Edited August 21, 2015 by Cali_Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StainTrain Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) Too much as in too high and too far forward. The answer to your other question lies in A. The type of scope. B. The barrel profile. C. Specific manufactures ring height. Edited August 21, 2015 by StainTrain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Damn, I swear I put this response in there last night...If you're putting on a PIcatinny rail, then any modern rings will work. The brands don't necessarily have to match. That Bobro will have the scope too high over the bore centerline - keep it as low as you can get.

survivalshop Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Are you wanting a Rail for any specific purpose other than mounting a set of rings ? They do make large adj. for eye relief . & can have MOA angles for long range , but I've been going towards one piece mounts , like DNZ , they also have MOA angles available & the Price is in line with a set of good rings . Just another thing to look at .http://www.dnzproducts.com/product/game-reaper-remington-3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali_Ed Posted August 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 So depending on the size of the objective lense is how you determine the clearance and hight of the rings I'm assuming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali_Ed Posted August 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) Expansion is real, about a foot on a 300' steam catapult or the same in my jeans in highschool health with the student teacher.You should get a one-piece base with integral rings, machined from a solid piece of titanium billet. It may be expensive but it will be worth it.is the one piece just sturdier and less likely to miss align Potential downfall is if you need to remove the scope for any reason now you have to remove the base and not just the rings? Or is it better this way? Edited August 21, 2015 by Cali_Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 One piece mounts like the DNZ, have ring caps to remove the scope with out removing the mount . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali_Ed Posted August 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Wouldn't you have to level the scope each time that way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) Once the mount is level ,, its level ( if you are talking about the scopes cross hair level , yes , just like any scope that has been removed ) & you can bed it if needed also , as was in your video . You can also lap the ring area , though I have not found a DNZ that has need much yet & I put the DNZ's on most rifles that need a new mount on hunting rifles ,Brownings , Remington's, Savages & with my NEF above . I have had no complaints as of yet . You will need , as you said , to have the rings or mount, high enough to clear the scope above the Barrel . Ring height is tricky, no one has the same cheek structure & what may be good for one person , may not work for another .

Cali_Ed Posted August 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Thinking of doing the egw rail and rings can do them both for 156 from swfa... any better deals? Price seems reasonable to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 Is it that you want to go with QD rings , then you want a Picatinny rail as 98 said . only way to pull a scope & if good rings , will re-zero . Warne QD rings I have several sets & they are GTG . What rings are you looking at . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyGoose Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) I have Badger Ordnance rings and bases on 3 Rem 700's which include a VTR in 308W, a SPS Tactical in 300WM, & another SPS in 7mmRM.I run a Vortex Razor 5-20X50, a US Optics ST-10 Fixed 10X, and an IOR Valdada fixed 10X on each set up respectively.I prefer fixed power optics in most instances for a variety of reasons which are probably outside the scope (pun intended) of this post.I'd recommend bedding the base whether there is initial fitting play or not, lapping the rings, and tapping for larger 8-40 base set screws, as well as using lock-tite on all the base and ring screws.Even considering fairly extensive travel, back country hikes, and the magnum chamberings, all 3 have been excellent performers.https://www.badgerordnance.com Edited August 23, 2015 by GreyGoose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
