Badger Ordnance.

seekins precision

 

[emin007]

Re: BEST RING AND BASE FOR REM 700 WITH NIGHTFORCE NXS

how does Leupold Mark 4 rings and base or Nightforce Ultralite rings and base compare? I have a good deal on them that's why I'm mentioning them

Re: BEST RING AND BASE FOR REM 700 WITH NIGHTFORCE NXS

Seekins for me too.

 

[Chiller]

Re: BEST RING AND BASE FOR REM 700 WITH NIGHTFORCE NXS

Seekins, Badger, Nightforce.

just my thoughts, ymmv.

 

[KNIGHT11B4]

Re: BEST RING AND BASE FOR REM 700 WITH NIGHTFORCE NXS

Another Badger vote.

 

[emin007]

Re: BEST RING AND BASE FOR REM 700 WITH NIGHTFORCE NXS

are the badger Max 50's the one to go with or the original?

 

[KNIGHT11B4]

Re: BEST RING AND BASE FOR REM 700 WITH NIGHTFORCE NXS

You dont need the 50s, just get the standard.

 

[Chiller]

Re: BEST RING AND BASE FOR REM 700 WITH NIGHTFORCE NXS

standard will do just fine.

the badgers will also let you have a 45 degree mount....

 

[emin007]

Re: BEST RING AND BASE FOR REM 700 WITH NIGHTFORCE NXS

so no longrange disadvantage in going with the "standards" say 800-1000 yards?

 

[KNIGHT11B4]

Re: BEST RING AND BASE FOR REM 700 WITH NIGHTFORCE NXS

No....

 

[Chiller]

Re: BEST RING AND BASE FOR REM 700 WITH NIGHTFORCE NXS

it is a .308......next question please?

 

[Chiller]

Re: BEST RING AND BASE FOR REM 700 WITH NIGHTFORCE NXS

have you ever shot to 1k?

do you have a 1k range?

 

[buffybuster]

Re: BEST RING AND BASE FOR REM 700 WITH NIGHTFORCE NXS

Seekins

 

[emin007]

Re: BEST RING AND BASE FOR REM 700 WITH NIGHTFORCE NXS

would the Leupold Mark 4 base mate well with those rings or should I stick with the Badger?

yes .308

Good questions.

Re: BEST RING AND BASE FOR REM 700 WITH NIGHTFORCE NXS

Dude, your asking a ton of preschool questions. Sounds to me like you need to read up.

 

[emin007]

Re: BEST RING AND BASE FOR REM 700 WITH NIGHTFORCE NXS

no I have not shot 1K range but have friends in Arizona that due and I want to be set up with the right bases and not get to a point where someone could say "ohh you need to upgrade this or that" I'm going to end up fully working the 700 and I want to make sure the "foundations" are rock solid...

 

[Chiller]

Re: BEST RING AND BASE FOR REM 700 WITH NIGHTFORCE NXS

badger....and badger......

you will be golden.

 

[emin007]

Re: BEST RING AND BASE FOR REM 700 WITH NIGHTFORCE NXS

anyone know what height would be best for the rings? I'm mating it with Nightforce NXS 3.5-15X50MM Thanks

 

[KNIGHT11B4]

Re: BEST RING AND BASE FOR REM 700 WITH NIGHTFORCE NXS

Some how I knew this question was going to be asked....

Med .885

Re: BEST RING AND BASE FOR REM 700 WITH NIGHTFORCE NXS

Ummmmmm, Badger. Duh!

Re: BEST RING AND BASE FOR REM 700 WITH NIGHTFORCE NXS

If you get Seekins, low rings will work.

Then call Scott at Liberty Optics and have him set you up with a Seekins 20 MOA base and a set of Seekins rings.

I don't recall ever seeing a post by someone not happy with Seekins, Badger or Nightforces quality. Buy once, cry once.

NEAR ALPHA you said the best!!

 

[NYresq]

Re: BEST RING AND BASE FOR REM 700 WITH NIGHTFORCE NXS

Badger or NF one piece base with 20moa slope and NF ultralight rings. NF actually states their Ultralights are stronger then their steel rings. Badger also makes alloy rings but I have yet to see them or know anyone who uses a set.

I have a set of the NF ultralights around a 5-22 x 50mm NXS and they are rock solid ontop of a surgeon action throwing a 308.

check out US Optics... They are semi-close to you and have some great products. I picked up some rings form them and love them.

Med .885 </div></div>

I'm confused. I thought the .885s were the lows and 1.0 the mediums.

 

[emin007]

Re: BEST RING AND BASE FOR REM 700 WITH NIGHTFORCE NXS

Thants what I thought... can someone clarify before I put an order through... Will .885 or 1.0 clear a 56MM objective?

either will clear, depends on your barrel contour. i'd assume you got a Left handed 700 SPS tactical. with that you should grab the 1.0 rings to be safe.

 

[emin007]

Re: BEST RING AND BASE FOR REM 700 WITH NIGHTFORCE NXS

Yes I have the 700 SPS VARMINT tactical with the bull barel

 

[bwh.308sa]

Re: BEST RING AND BASE FOR REM 700 WITH NIGHTFORCE NXS

running a sps tact heavy barrel .308, nightforce ultra lite medium rings, nightforce 5.5x22x56 scope and a atrs 20 moa rail with BC lense covers, here's my clearance

Re: BEST RING AND BASE FOR REM 700 WITH NIGHTFORCE NXS

seekins, badger or near manu alpha mount. Mine comes this week.

 

[tfre3927]

Re: BEST RING AND BASE FOR REM 700 WITH NIGHTFORCE NXS

My first impression of NF rings - when I sat the scope in the rings I couldn't even turn the scope to adjust the reticle alignment- it just fits like a glove. Makes sense they say you don't even need to lap the rings. No regrets!!
