For the base yes, but the Burris Signature Zee rings a better choice every time.

Vertically split rings are a PIA and Warne Mountain Techs are too high.
Ken Farrell Lows on Warne two piece bases would be super low. The only issue would concern whether your the ocular of your particular scope would interfere with the bolt throw.

I have killed a lot of critters, big and small, with vertically split rings.

I agree, trying to stay away from the vertically split rings, big PIA.

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. I like Talley bases and rings too!

On a hunting rifle where weight is a concern I would skip the rail and go with the Hawkins Precision long range hybrids. A one piece base and ring with 25 moa built in. They are Talley lightweights on steroids without a significant weight penalty. https://hawkinsprecision.com/scope-rings/

For a Remington 700? Maybe it's just me but I go with the kiss system. I use a 1 piece Leupold base and traditional Leupold rings.Yes I am a fan of those horried dove tail-windage screw rings and bases. I know it's not cool these days in a world of high tech modern design. But I have been using this system for 40 years on some of my guns. Not all, I have a couple that -have rails and claw style rings. They work too, but I've never experienced any of the perceived problems with the dove tai[-windage screw set up. They all work if you do them right.
One warning. If you go with low rings with a 42mm Objective you may have problems with the objective bell hitting the front of the base mount or even the barrel. In my case it could have been a problem specific to the Leupold rings, I'm not sure. But when I put a Vortex Diamondback 4-12X40 on a commercial Mauser using low Leupold rings I had to grind on the rifle bolt and follow up with a file to stop the bolt from rubbing the ocular lens body of the scope. And even with just a 40mm Objective It barely cleared the front of the mount and even the barrel. I think a 42MM would have hit it. If you do decide to go low, be sure to keep your receipts in case you have to return stuff. I went with low rings anyway. because the stock of this particular rifle fits me so much better with the lower scope that I decided to fit things myself. It turned out pretty nice but it was a PIA getting things right.
