Scope base and rings combo

[codyhuntsaz]

I think I've decided to go with these on my savage long range Hunter. Has anyone used one or both of these? Does anyone have any better recommendations? I'm trying to save weight where possible. Also...what height would you recommend? The mediums are 1" from top of 20 Moa rail to center of mount. The highs are 1.125. I plan on using a x-xx-50 scope with a cap. Want to make sure it will clear the barrel with enough room, but not too much.

I'm not sure what the deal is with this website today, it's been giving me nothing but problems. I've posted the pictures three different times in two different threads.

Better.

 

Nightforce are decent rings and bases. For a 50mm objective scope, unless you have a straight taper 1.25" barrel, the .92" will clear bell housing to barrel profile up to Heavy Varmint or Sendero just fine. Including sun shade & scope caps.

 

Here is a great tool to check clearance. http://www.mil-rad.com/scope_ring_calculator

lance-- Any experience with bases or rings from xtreme hardcore gear?? And are you bedding your bases? Top pic (your 7mm?) looks like it is bedded down to the action?
