Newby here. Been lurking for a while.
I have a Rem 700VS I bought in '94 (.308). It currently has a 4-14x56 Springfield Armory scope on a 2-piece mount. I want to sell that scope and replace it with a 6-24x50 Vortex Viper PST in Mil/Mil. I plan to shoot paper targets out to 1000 yd using 168g FGGM ammo. I will need to get a new mount & rings (I have the twist-in style now) and would like to get a steel picatinny set-up. Here is what I was thinking: TPS steel 20 MOA base TPS steel rings 1. Anyone know what height rings I need for the above setup? 2. Do I need the 8-40 screw base or the 6-48 screw base? 3. Does one brand of base need to be bedded whereas others dont? For example I won't need to bed the badger steel base but would need to bed the TPS. The badger base sure is expensive. Thanks! |

Welcome to Optics Talk.
1) TPS Low rings, should be fine. 2) I think either will work fine. 6-48 screws for a .308, ought to be plenty. 3) See below. These instructions apply to all rails. |
