I'm looking to get some input on how to finish out my new project. Thanks in advance!
First off, here's what I'm working with:
Remington Special Purpose Synthetic/Tactical 308 w/Hogue Overmold Stock
[Model 700 SPS tactical rifle with Hogue overmold soft touch stock, dual point piller bedding for solid foundation to bed action. Two-position thumb safety. All black oxide blasted finish with 20" heavy contour tactical style barrel.]
Millett Tactical Rifle Scope TRS-1 4-16x50mm [mil-dot reticle]
Intent: Zero @ 100yrds...shoot mostly at 100-500yrds, but would like to be able to attempt 800yrds
So at this point, I need to decide on which base mount and scope rings to go with.
Most importantly, I need something that is going to be very dependable, but look good at the same time.
For some reason, I think I like the look of the 'flat-top' rings(I don't see the throw arms being necessary for my uses)
As far as a base, I've been looking at EGW, but don't know about the brand and whether or not I would need a base with MOA...
So the big questions...
Steel or aluminum base and rings? What brands are going to provide the most reliability and best bang for the buck without compromising the look and feel?
Does the base mount need to have any MOA? And should I be going with high, medium, or low rings?
