Rifle Scopes Need advice, Savage rings +base

[Dolomite_Supafly]

I have a Stevens 200 that is basically a Savage round back. It is a short action. It currently wears a Leupold setup but I am wanting to change to a picatinny base with appropiate rings. I am relatively new to precision shooting and wanting some advice.

I would like some suggections for the best base and rings under $100 for both.

I am looking at the McCree Precision extended base. This takes up about 1/2 of the $100 budget. I can go more on the budget if there is a BIG benefit to the extra funds.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If you go with the above mentioned base.And you are still trying to stay under a 100 bucks then go with a set of burris xtr rings.

Or you can wait and pick up a used set of acculocks or something used in the for sale forums.

For me personally,i'd go with either badger ordnance,seekins or warne.But all three of these choices put you over the 100.00 mark.

Just get an EGW base and be done with it. Burris or TPS rings on top of it.

+1

EGW makes an "HD" version that's made of 7075 AL for more "rugged" use. They run around $70.00 for the HD or $40.00 for the standard base.

TPS TRS rings are nice for the money, your choice of steel or AL.

+2 on the EGW HD base. Look on EBAY, EGW sells on there, and I got the HD base for my Savage for $49.99, instead of the $69.99 that they charge on their website.
