Currently have a Leupold 4-12 AO in dual dovetail bases and 1" medium rings on this standard barrel contour rifle. Am leaning toward using medium 30mm dual dovetail rings with the SS.
here`s my 2 cents: I now use only picatinny bases and rings ,it does cost more but it`s a lot more easy to change scopes around and truthfully a much better scope mounting system too
Rational for canted bases even for scopes with enormous travel is that every Mil under zero is wasted. And 30 MOA bases don't cost more than 0 MOA Bases. It issue with DD's is not the failure of the rings and bases but the failure of your primary optic, that's the weak link in the whole system. Also using a picatinny rail as a base allows you to keep a spare scope already sighted in on a hunt in case your primary scope goes tits up or gets broke. Can't do that with DD's......With pic rails and rings I can swap in a pre-sighted in scope in under a minute, and return to zero within a 1/2 MOA or less. Close enough for minute of buck......
I have even put picatinny bases and rings on my Ruger number 1`s that I use. bench rest shooters are all switch`n over to picatinny bases and rings too.
