Hello all I'm an old timer deer maven, but to the chagrin of many of you I have been an iron sights guy for almost 40 years in the woods. No glass. Most of that is b/c the deer are well inside 100 yards and I can acquire my target much faster with open sights. Well, time is catching up and I need some scope help so a friend has given me access to a few different scopes. Leupold, Nikon and Burris. I will be hunting some new areas this fall that put most of the deer in the 150-250 range and even in my younger days that was a shot I'd of never taken with irons.
So. 700 short action in 30-06 has been my go to. I'm actually grabbing a new 700 in 308 soon. I have a couple of scopes I can put on, but my question is what is the simplest way to go about wading through the maze of options here. One piece rings, 2 piece, bases etc. Does anyone make an integrated ring/mount combo I can just slap on there and not mess with bedding/lapping? Or is is not that simple? Sorry to be such a dummy and if it seems that way I really am:/ I mean I'm just stepping out of the ramped iron sight world in 2016.
Thanks for any help you can lend
