Hi,
I just picked up a 2012 Kimber 8400 Ducks unlimited edition in .300 Win Mag new in he box UN-fired. I am thinking about putting on a 4x16x44 Sig Whiskey 4 scope with Sig Alpha 6 rings or Tally Rings. I am unsure on height? Med or High ?

Thinking about 2 Piece Warne Base.

I am open to other options, Honestly I have no real plans at teh moment for the rifle but would like to take it on a out west hunt at some point and just want to have it out fitted and ready to go. Thanks

Ammo selection I know it is what the rifle likes but I am looking at 180 to 200 Gr Barnes or Hornady ELDX.

I would get a one piece 20 moa base. That way you have more options for eye relief being able to move the scope back and forth versus a two piece base. Never liked two piece bases. You also run into the alignment issue.

What’s your scope budget?

I would like to stay under $800 closer to $600 would be better.

I picked up the Warne 2 Piece base  ( Weaver style ) and Sig Sauer Alpha 6 Rings ( Pic/Weaver ) they don't fit in the groove, I now have a set of Warne Mountain rings coming.

I ended up with Warne 1 Piece rail and Warne Mountain rings.

I really like the Talley steel five screw mount QD rings and matching two piece bases.  Thise are vertical split rings.   I have used them on many rifles, mostly upscale hunting rifles.  Strong, elegant, and return to zero capability, if ever needed,
