I bought the 111 trophy hunter package savage in a .270. I am removing the scope to put on my wife's remington 7600 carbine in .308 and adding the nikon prostaff 3 - 9×40 bdc because the adjustment is smoother on the prostaff. I wanted to upgrade the bases and rings as well but wanted some ideas of one's to look at. I personally like the low mounts. Any ones you guys prefer over others?

You can never go wrong with Leupold rings and base. Got these on all my rifles and never had an issue with them coming loose or scope getting out of adjustment.

Leupold rings and bases are good.

I prefer DNZ over everything I have, including Leupold.

I personally don't like Leupold bases. I've had them work loose on me in the past and the ones with the double dovetail system are hard to get aligned just right. And their standard system (not the dual dovetail) with the rear ring held by windage adjustment screws just begs to shift under heavy recoil. That system is just plain poor.

Talley rings are best in my book. They're expensive for a reason. Those things are rock solid.

As for bases, fewer parts are better, starting with zero. My favorite system is Talley rings on a Picatinny or Weaver rail that is integral to the rifle, or model-specific Talley ringmounts onto a rifle's proprietary rail. Next best is a Talley Picatinny base that screws securely onto the rifle paired with Talley rings.

Don't buy any damned two piece base systems from other companies. Why introduce another source of working loose or misalignment into the system?

Wiley already told you the best. DNZ

What he said.

I've never had any problems out of mine. I have quick detach on my muzzleloader, with no issues with it either.

I'm in the process of swapping all my guns from Leupold to DNZ too.

Make sure to degrease and put some loctite on the screws.

Blue Locktite not Red

DNZ and Talley.

I like S&K mounts

DNZ for sure

Would the one piece dnz mount work on the long action savage ? Never used a one piece on a bolt action.And do you guys think I could use the low dnz with a 40 mm scope?

Bingo. Redfield / Leupold is not a good mounting system.

Here's a couple of pics of the DNZ medium height on my Savage .270 with a 40mm scope...

1,000's of rifles wear Leupold Rings and have for what? since the 1970's? They are not my first choice, but they work just fine.

Not sure why so many people have problems with their scope mounts. I have never had a complete failure in a mounting system... I guess ever. Only problems I have ever had were screws that were too long that I can remember.

My only 2 pieces of advice for this thread are:

1) If you are going to be jumping out of a Helicopter with your rifle get the appropriate rings/mounts.

2) If you cannot properly mount a scope.. I guess get someone who knows what they are doing to mount it for you.

Because there are better options available now.

I've never had any problems either. I just put DNZ on everything as I bought it new over the last 8 years or so. Nothing that I already had with a scope on it got changed and the only other rings/bases that I have are Leupold.
