So the only scopes i have mounted were on a CZ 452 and a marlin 60, both of which the rings clamp right onto the receiver. I am not familiar with the differences between a 'weaver style' and others, and how to tell what rings work with what bases. So a little 101 help would be appreciated.
First I'm mounting a Bushnell elite 4200, 4-12x40 on my Savage 111 30-06.
I've read I should be most likely looking at a 1 piece base for better mounting options due to the long action. On the other hand, I've also read that this scope is 'long' so maybe I can get away with 2 piece bases? I'm not sure.
1 piece base looks a bit annoying to load and unload, and less visually pleasing, but seems to me as if it would have the ring alignment in relation to each other, better than a 2 piece system. (http://www.midwayusa.com:80/viewProduct/?productNumber=199583&t=11082005) I hear this one works well, and the price is sure right. I have some other B-square products, and they seem well built.
As for rings I keep hearing good things about the burris signature series. The theory seems sound to me.
Finally i hear 'the specs are wrong' on the tube size of the 4200 scope, so i am not sure if its 1" or 30mm ect ect
