I have some basic weaver bases (aluminum). Are these crap? Should I buy Leupold base and rings? What size is apropriate for a model 70 short action? Iv'e read both medium and low... dose anyone have a similar rig that would know? Thank you all for your help... here is some pics of my new Model 70 smile

Any suggestions and help would be great. Any thoughts on the rifle altogether would be welcome as well.

VERY NICE rifle there. I've been wanting one of the 2008's for a while now. One of these days, one of these days grin
