Need some help with base and rings, R700 SS 5R

[ankyle62]

I just bought a Remington 700 SS 5R, and a Nikon Monarch X 4-16X50 Mil-Dot. Im trying to figure out what base and rings to get.

From what I read Im looking at the Badger Ordnance 20moa base and their low rings. Will this work? Any other brands I should consider? Pros and Cons?

What vendor should I buy from?

Everything that I've seen says that will work. I have a similar rifle but am going to go with the standard height because I have a fat face

I run a similar setup on he work 700P. The badger 20 and .823" rings will work on a 5r also. I was running .885 NFs on my 5R with plenty room to spare on the 50mm tube. You should be fine.

Farrell 20 moa base and Burris see sig rings medium. Works amazing with my5r and vortex with a 50 bell

Badger 20 MOA base and the Badger .885" rings, and a Harris 6"-9" swivel bipod will work great.

I thought the idea was to get the scope as low as possible.

BTW this is my first time messing with any of this type of stuff, I just sold my AR to fund this rifle.

Using their chart I dont think the lows will work, unless Im reading it wrong or their chart is wrong.

50mm Objective, 30mm tube


but then I see this rifle and it has low rings

Seekins 20 MOA Base and Seekins 30mm LOW Rings.
Get the optic as low as possible, but do use some type of scope caps. These LOW Rings I have mentioned will work with your barrel contour.

If they don't work for you like I say, I'll buy them from you. How about that?
You can also verify info with Seekins.

Seekins would be my vote.

Since it looks like you got the rings squared away, What caliber did you buy?

I just placed the order from Seekins, hopefully they get here before my 10 day wait is up. Thanks for the help guys.
Any guides online for installing the base and rings?

Man from what I have seen you will not be disappointed in this rifle, I have a .223 rem 700 5r and I have only had a sako extractor installed and had the action bedded and this gun will shoot .5 MOA all day long as long as I do my part. Enjoy.
