Where can I find a set of good bases and rings for my new scope?
I own a Savage 111. I recently bough myself a sexy new 4-12 x 40 Leupold scope. Im trying to find some decently priced mounts and rings althought im a little confused how to look for them. I been on some sites such as cheaperthandirt and midwayusa, but im wondering if i should be looking for the mounts and rings under the manufacturer name of the gun or the scope.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Some links would be nice!
Leupold with Leupold. The sexiness of the scope deserves sexy rings and mounts made by the same manufacturer. The advantage to the Leupold in a technical sense is that they have Torx shaped screw heads and you can get them tighter and therefore are more reliable than other brands to keep the mount and rings tight and the gun (Especially Magnum hard recoiling calibers) on the target where you sighted it to be. Take a look at the Leupold data for measurements of the height of the rings and the Bell diameter of the objective lens (Lense face the muzzle end of the rifle) and get the ones that are the lowest mount to the action that allows proper action function. You might consider a Leupold QD mount and rings if you have another rifle that might like wearing this sexy scope during the varmint season-Interchange between rifles.
