Rifle Scopes Need a 1 piece base for my Win model70 (Long Action)

I have a Win M70 EW in 7mm RM. I use 2 piece Leupy STD bases and rings to mount my Zeiss Conquest 3.5-10x44. Works perfectly. Indeed, one of the things I like about the Leupy STD base/ring combo is the ability to adjust windage with the base set screws so I can sight in with windage left at mechanical zero. I've had excellent results on a Rem 700 SPS-V in .308 Win on which I have mounted a Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50. I think a 20 MOA Pic rail is a good idea for a one piece if you're going to shoot regularly out to 1,000 yards and beyond but the STD set-up is good out to 800. Leupy offers a one-piece STD base for a Win 70 (their prod code is 51736 for the matte base one-piece LA base).

Good luck.

Agreed the Badger is nice, I have one of their 20moa bases on a Win. M70 SA.
 
I also have a Near Mfg. base. Worth every penny, and the wait. It is stainless, which is a + compared to the Badger. I plan to order more from Near in the future.
