. Any help would be appreciated!
I understand that you like the DNZ product and use it to mount nice glass. That may or may not work for what the OP had in mind. I've mounted glass up to and including S&B, but that's not the point. I wanted to know what plans the OP had for the rifle, so I could better provide a recommendation. For example, I would recommend one thing if the OP was going to leave it alone and shoot it as is...I'd recommend something different if the OP plans to get the action blueprinted.Hocktl wrote:Gunderwood, you missed the point. He's is asking about a base and the point is, if he buys the base in his link, he would still have to buy rings. He can get the DNZ I pointed out which is a one piece base and rings for slightly less money than the base he is looking at. The reason I listed the scopes is because I trust these DNZ base ring sets to support some pretty good glass. I don't understand how you consider a $70 base/ring mounting system on a Remington 700 to possibly be too high end regardless of the glass or application. Now If my recommendation were for a $250. nightforce mounting equivalent I would absolutely agree. These DNZ's are the bee's knees and for a lot less money. Besides, they have a really good look.
Maybe; all products have bad examples and no product is perfect. I've personally seen higher-end mounts than even the DNZ slip and/or flex. Granted that was on much larger calibers than .308Win, but whatever.Hocktl wrote:I don't care if you use them for a Tasco pronghorn or a Schmidt, or if it's for 1000 meter bench shooting or hunting if you have problems it won't be because of these mounts. The two examples I gave is my 30.06 hunting rifle and a 1000 meter .308 bench shooter. I stand by my recommendation for anyone.

I digress to your obvious superior cognizance. I apologize that it wasn't apparent to me your grasp of the intent of the original post as well as your interpretation of the subtle nuances that was my post. I can't see how I missed it in your original reply. For that I apologize. The man asked about a base. I obviously don't know my place but, whatever.
To the original post, please disregard my reply. I apologize for providing an opinion on what would be an acceptable, low cost system that was a recommendation as an alternative to the rail you had in mind. I really look forward to the tutelage that will be provided here by far superior intellects who will provide us with much better well thought out advice. I, like you can't wait to be enlightened far beyond the scope of the original question.
Let me guess, you're short of stature right? Small Angry Man Syndrome?Hocktl wrote:Sensitive, not at all. I enjoy having such an obvious superior intellect dismiss my opinions and redirect the intent of the original question. I apologized for posting to a thread that is obviously over my head and will not let it happen again. You guys are way more qualified to answer all these hard questions than I. I'm not sure what else you want from me. I'm just looking forward to the knowledge that will be flowing here before long. I always enjoy a good schooling.
Vested interest in DNZ? That is actually the silliest thing stated on this thread.
Hope this gentleman comes back soon so he can answer all your questions.
Forgot to mention what I am going to use it for. Most likely zombie killing, range shooting (medium to long range (500 yards to 1000 yards), and deer hunting in a tree stand.dooger52287 wrote:
