I need some help with choosing which scope base/mount to choose. I know Badger is the top choice. I'm probably going to shoot at 100 yards and maybe out to 500-600. Scope is going to be a Primary Arms 4-14x44 FFP and mount is AD Recon-S low 30mm.
I'm thinking about Seekins Precision or Nightforce base. I'm leaning towards Seekins as it seems to be in my price range. Do I want short action or long action? MOA or no MOA? |

On a side note buckeye optics has some excellent rings that are very much like the nightforce lightweight. If you're talking about bases for a 700 they also have very nice bases. |

If it is a short action you can only use a short action base. You can get a decent base and set of rings for the cost of that mount, do you plan on using the scope on multiple rifles? |

PA 4-14 FFP - $230 (mildot) EGW 20 MOA base- $50 - There is plenty of elevation on a 30mm tube, so take advantage of the unused elevation travel by utilizing a canted base. The standard is 20 MOA. Burris XTR rings - $60 All of that should get you around $340. |

If you want higher end base/rings, I like seekins for both. Seekins has a recoil lug on their bases (so does Badger). What I really like about Seekins are their rings. They have a lowprofile design. Badger Ordnance rings has a large nut on the one side to clamp down on the picatinny rail. The Seekins rings hardware are all recess. But you can't go wrong with Badger, Seekins or Nightforce. |

Rings allow for more freedom of mounting but it's not that rings are better it's that the QD mount is unnecessary and generally cost more. I use rings on my scoped AR as well. Because why on earth would I need to QD my scope? The fact is QD mounts are nearly pointless on a bolt gun unless you have one badass scope for multiple rifles. |

I have primary arms 4-14 FFP on my .22 trainer and it's decent for the money but I wouldn't put one on a .308 bolt gun
If you want a very nice scope for the money get a Athlon Argos BTR 6-24x FFP they're like $360 and compare very well to a Vortex PST Get regular rings so you can mount the scope as low as possible so you can get a good cheek weld |

Ken Farrell makes Remington bases with the widest variety of MOA's built in on the market. A dedicated 600 yard rifle is best served with a 15 MOA scope base.*
*This depends on how far off a new scope is when mounted on a zero MOA base from the same manufacturer. It's not unusual for factory rifles to be off 10 or more MOA with standard rings and mounts installed. This misalignment can be pointed in any direction. The only way to find out what you really need is to mount a new scope (they come centered in their movement straight from the factory) on a zero MOA mount and rings and see where it shoots. If the factory rifle already shoots 10 MOA straight up you'll only need another 5 MOA scope base to be centered in your scopes adjustment at 600 yards. If it shoots 10 MOA low you'll need a 25 MOA scope base have the scope centered in it's mechanical center at 600 yards. What usually happens is it's off to the left or right as well. 15" high at 100 yards is very close to zero at 600 with 168 grain Sierra Match Kings (Federal Gold Medal Match). |
