The scope is a nsx 3.5x15x56 with a 4" sunshade. On the rest of my rifles I use tally light weighs, but think I need too try something new. Also I am contemplating a 20 moa base.

But I try to match brands, so if I were you I'd go witha. Nightforce base, and nightforce rings/ a one peice mout setup if it will work.

One piece like talley but with 25 moa built in and much better quality. Those look like the rear ring has same base radius as the front to fit their in-house (Stiller) action. That won't work on the M700 the OP is asking about. Better call to see what's what before spending $150. Last edited by gzig5; 02/04/17.

Wanted one piece but don't find any Those are higher than you need. On every rifle I've got with a varmint contour barrel low rings have worked with a 56mm objective. You're going to have a pretty big gap between the objective and barrel with the high rings.

I just mounted up some 34mm rings and the quality is absolutely obvious.
