I have a Savage 12, .223 in need of some appropriate glass, which I hopefully just solved yesterday, when I found a deal on a NIB Nikon Monarch 6-24x50 that I could not pass up ($450).
I'm pretty new to the somewhat serious scope game. What would those that know recommend for some good bases and rings, without going crazy on price. I'd like to stay less than $100 for mounts and bases if possible, also I like the 2 piece bases to keep the action access open as can be. What others (beyond Warne and Badgers)?
I like the Leupold Standard rings and bases, with the one dovetail in the front to get some more windage adjustment with the rear base. Will these do the job? For about $50 you are set with bases and rings. Seems to be the cheaper side of what I have looked at.
Am I going to run into trouble with that setup? Also, I assume I will need the High rings with a 50mm objective. Will shorter rings work also? I haven't been able to match rings with scope with rifle in person yet. Nor find any info online as to what rings fit what.
Your recommendations and answers are as always appreciated!
