Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics What 30mm rings/Rem 700

I'm finally upgrading my scope on my Rem 700 280 after 15 yrs , will be using a picatinny rail. Scope is a 2-12x42 so I'm thinking a low ring should work. I've looked at several rings but just can't decide as I always notice a weak link or maybe it's just me.
Any suggestions for some rings that'll look good for a sporter rifle and be trouble free?

Seekins “low” for your situation gonna be hard to beat.

Yep.
Could also look at APA .75s (lows) but quite a bit more $.

I’d use Seekins low rings if you’re set on using a rail.

eupold DDs/lows have been rock solid for me though. They’re the way I go if I don’t need inclination. (On Remington 700s at least)

The reversible front will grant you good ring spacing if that’s why you’re using a rail. The standards are pretty short in that regard.

I like Warne.

I really like Talley steel bases and Screw Lock rings.

Right now wearing Leupold 2-12x42. I'm trying to break it, as I've sent it back once right after I bought it. Haven't had any other problems.

Excuse me but f the seekins. Remington has never drilled 4 holes in a straight line............ever.
Enter the Burris Signature Z rings. with the off set inserts you can dial your scope in somewhat before you shoot a shot. over the weekend I set up a Rem 700 in 270 Win.
I used the +10 -10 inserts to correct windage ( +20-20 were too much for this rifle but very common on Remingtons). I used the other +10-10 to add elevation. they never put ring marks on your scope and never slip, very light weight.
No longer own a Burris scope..........but the Signature Zee rings are the bomb for mounting to picatinny or weaver bases, own more than a dozen. awesome !!!!

Warne bases and Burris Signature Zee rings are your huckleberry.

I like Talley bases and rings. They look great

If your on a budget, look at the Weaver tactical rings 1 inch and 30mm, aluminium 4 screw or six and 50 cal rated. Awesome bang for you buck!

+1 on the Weavers!

I'd go rail or these. If going rail Seekins is an easy choice. Either way I've taken to bedding them to the actions. For short actions, I prefer the Seekins. For long actions, have had good luck with the Nightforce pictured. Bedding visible under the rear bridge.

So many options, thanks for the suggestions .

Warne lows...

For that scope APA or Farrell Lows.
