Rings and rail recommendation

I have a Savage 12FV .223 and Vortex Diamondback Tactical scope needing rings and rail. I was thinking of getting Burris rings and Warne 1 piece rail.

I know many people have their own preference, but I rather ask here than at a store where they are trying to get me to buy the most expensive one.

Thanks in advanced.
 
On the side note, there is a member who mentioned he has EGW rail 20MOA, which he explained to me. After reading what I found online, it said really necessary for past 400yds.

At the moment, the limit of range I go to is 200yds. But hopefully one day I can go past this.
 
I have a Rem 700 in .223 that I shoot out to 300yds (so far), and have an EGW 0' rail on it with TPS TSR rings. I've had this combination for a few years with a Vortex PST II scope and formerly a Vortex HS scope, and it has all stayed tight and accurate. Highly recommended!

p.s. did use proper torque settings and blue locktite when setting up.
 
Ilmonster,
He doesn't have the base or rings yet.

Nino,
The Burris rings, and Warne base will do you just fine. If your ordering a Warne base, might suggest you do one stop shopping and get their rings.

When getting the rings, is it ideal for the scope to be as low as possible?

Not necessarily, but likely. It depends on the stock, your head, and the scope itself. I have my 6-24x50 mounted with about 1/16" gap between the barrel and the scope. It's tilted about 15MOA with Burris Signature Rings using the offset spacers. Lines up perfect with my eye prone or from the bench.

I personally think it's hard to beat the Burris Signature rings. You can tilt your scope, no lapping, and you can fix minor misalignment of the rifles mounting holes. I've heard complaints that they're not as precisely made as they once were but they've never failed me in 5 sets of them in both 1" and 30mm.

I have Warne rails and Warne rings. They are metal (rail is aluminum)

Lower is better as long as it clears the gun ok. Usualy mediums

Warn has an app that matches up rings with gun and mount.
 
Love Warne bases! All of my rifles, get Nightforce ultralight rings except my sons Ruger America, and that is because it is topped with an Aimpoint for now.
 
I have always used two-piece bases. Four screws in shear rather than three. Better access to the magazine and chamber.

People comment about the stiffening effect of a one-piece base, but I have difficulty believing that--or seeing any real need for it.
 
You don't have to spend $100 to mount a scope. I've used numerous types/brands and all have plus and minus features.
 
I've had a lot of Weaver ring's and base's in my life, they never failed me. Even had a set of Tasco's tears ago. They never failed either but they were butt ugly! I don't see an advantage to any style or make of rings so long as you can stand to look at them. Get into those 20 MOA, I think that's what they are called, for extreme range shooting and got nothing to say. I have never shot extreme range. I do have a set of very old Redfield one piece base and it's worked fine since 1945! Have a couple set's of Leupold and they work fine. Mostly I like the way they look though!
