Congrats SurplusShooter, new rifles are alway nice. What kind of scope and mounts are you planning on using?
 
I put a leupold tactical AR 6x18-40mm on mine. It has adjustable turrets that's why I got it. Once I figure out a good load leupold can build custome knobs. Cheaper than dirt has them for $452. Not bad IMO.
 
 
Good choices on scope and mounts, or at least that is just what I put on a new rifle. I used the Weaver Grand Slam mounts, they are Leupold type and very strong. The Zeiss scope is pretty nice too :D
 
+2 on the Grand Slam rings. But get the right height. A medium Leupold set of rings for my 40mm scope worked and the Grand Slam medium were too low (even though the package said it was for 40mm). I had to buy high rings.
 
Never had a problem with Weaver bases and mounts moving, if installed correctly. They're solid, inexpensive, and allow a person to exchange scopes easily while maintaining zero. If you go on a hunting trip, you can take a back-up scope, all zeroed, and don't have to worry about losing several days of hunting with your favorite rifle/load.

The regular-type Weaver rings, but with four screws each are the ones I prefer, just because the scope tube doesn't tend to rotate as screws are tightened.
 
+ Whatever on Weaver Rings. I've been using the Tactical 6 Lug Skeleton mounting those 50mm scopes on my deer rifles. Very good products, strong and durable, plus they look really cool.
 
Glad you didn't buy into all this savage hype lately lol. No offense I own a 110 in 223. What can I say I love remington grew up on em I'm an upstate new yorker, remington and ithaca is all I know. :D
 
Same here upstate but its going to take a while before I can buy the scope and rings because they coast alot of money plus the 600 for the rifle I just spent.
 
Yes it does I bought a 700 chambered in 3006 in late august this year and I saved and bought a nikon prostaff and leupold rings and bases good things take time. Its worth it.
 
Nice rifle. There is a wide variety of good scope mount bases and rings; I recommend careful internet shopping. I also recommend a variable power scope such as 2.5 X 8, in the low/middle price range, maybe $275 and higher. ENJOY your new rifle. :D
 
Nice gun, but the bolt is on the wrong side.... (I'm a lefty). Congrats. Pick a nice a scope to go with it and you'll be set.
