I'm piecing together a Remington 700 and the only thing left I need is a scope base. I have heard good things about the TPS bases, and I would like to get one, but I have not been able to find any in stock anywhere, and any estimates are about 1.5-2 months out.
I like the TPS bases, but I am not sure they are worth waiting that long. I have been looking at other options such as Warne and Seekins. Does anyone have experience with those or other similar priced bases? I like how the TPS is advertised as having the "recoil shoulder which locks it down under recoil." I haven't seen any other bases advertise a similar feature, but I have read in reviews that the TPS base has "similar construction and features as many other high end bases." So I am wondering if this recoil thing is just a common feature on the more expensive bases.
Also, for my specific scope, I have been told that a TPS 20-MOA base and the TPS low rings work perfectly (I have already ordered the TPS low rings as they were in stock). But I have also read how there can be differences between the height of different brand bases that is not always insignificant. For example, I have heard EGW bases are particularly high. I am trying to figure out if I go with another base is there anything I can do before ordering to check for fit as I don't see any published dimensions.
