I have a Rem 700 series rifle coming in this week, but haven't bought a mount set up for the glass yet. This is my first bolt rifle. I looked through older posts, but honestly, now I'm just more confused than when I started.
It seems like a two piece set up is preferred over a one piece or putting the rings directly on the barrel (although I'm not sure why).
The number of choices and price points is a little too much for me. What makes bases or rings "good" instead of "bad"? I'm no champion shooter, but this is a target rifle and I'd rather work on my shooting without wondering if my scope is mounted with quality equipment. It's a 7mm RM, so it needs to be able to put up with the recoil.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
