Just ordered scope for the 5R. Now on my SC rifle, I had to get higher rings to compensate for the 50mm bell of my scope. But this will just be a standard 3.5-10x40mm scope. Do I just go w/ lows, or is it possible to go to low? I'm gonna try to order a TPS base if available (if not probably a Ken Farrell) and TPS rings. Also, what does everyone think of alluminum for rings/bases? This is not going to me a 1000yd tack driver, but I do not like to miss.........It will be my standard, .308 rifle, good for a million uses, and if i get to hunt, it will be my hunting rifle.

Here is TTH before, mounted w/ a VX-III 6.5-20x40. I believe the rings are just standard Leupys and I think they are lows, but I am not sure.

For reasons that are too complicated to get into, the lower th better as long as the scope clears the bbl in front. If you have about 1/4 in room between the bbl and scope, that is perfect IMHO. Oh yea, you also have to make sure the bolt clears and you have roome to throw the bolt easly.

Anyone have a 700 with a 3.5-10x40 leupy?

ive got a M4 3.5-10x40, the standard rings and base work just fine.

For your reference, these are all of the Leupold Bases and RIngs that will work with that rifle and scope combo.

Looks like your all over the base. (Good Job) Here's a link to rings.

We will be out of this backlog soon and hopefully we get Mel on board to be a dealer soon.
