Ok guys I am trying to put this rifle together. I have a new Remington 700 XCR chambered in .300 RUM
I got this for Christmas last year, but haven't had the funds to finish putting it together.
Anyway, I think I'm going to buy the Leupold VX-II in a 3x9x40
I'm kinda on a budget of about 300 or so for the glass. I have looked at the Elite 3200 and 4200, and the Nikon scopes too. I think I like the VX-II the best,
I have a old Vari-x IIc on an old BDL 25-06 and it's still shooting great. I got this rifle so one day I can go out west hopefully for something bigger than Georgia whitetail and bears and pigs.
I am totally lost however on what type of rings and bases to get.
I understand that this gun has a ton of recoil (I still haven't shot it)
And I want to preserve my scope and not trash it. I have seen one piece and two piece bases, and a herd of types of rings. Some with inserts and without. Tacticool picatinny rails and such, different types of MOA on those....
Jeez, I have no clue. Nobody around these parts has hardly even heard of a ultramag, so I figured you guys could help me out.
Thanks in advance
Sean
