Rifle Scopes Base/rings for .308 rem 700 5r?

[stoop14]

I'm new to this gun thing, I bought a 700 5r in 308 and a vortex viper pst 6-24x50, now I need to order some rings for it I'm thinking I'll get a 20 moa base so I don't know what size rings? Low med or high? Also any suggestions on rings? I've been told Burris zee sigs with the inserts to keep your scope perfect. I read the FAQ but since I must order both online I can't measure.

Nightforce lows will fit .885" or Badger Mediums .885"

But are the 20 moa bases all the same thickness? I was thinking a Ken Farrell 20 moa base.

Give Seekins a call... They'll set you up!

They ship to Canada?

I have a Rem 5R in 308 also. I have the Seekins rings and 20 moa mounts. They are excellent. You won't be disapointed. Got mine from Scott at Liberty Optics.

I'll throw in another vote for the Seekins base and rings, and another vote for Scott at Liberty Optics too.
I've bought a bunch of Seekins stuff from Scott, and the product and the service have always been super!

I'm running a EGW 20MOA mount with the Burris low XTR rings with a Sightron SIII 8-32 (56 objective). The scope has roughly .050 - 0.075" clearance to the barrel. Haven't physically measured it but the covers fit! The vortex would have slightly more clearance.

I ordered the same seekins set up for my 5r. I spoke with seekins and they suggested medium height rings with their 20 moa bases. Scope is a Nightforce 50.

My NF 50mm has plenty of room in low rings.

Yeah, I see. I wonder why they suggested the medium rings? I'm going to have to call them and follow up on this. Your set up looks fine!
