I am looking for a Picatinny rail to put on my 7 mm Rem Mag. Was set on Larue until I did some research and found out their quality is not that good, now I'm lost, any suggestions? The scope is a S&B 5-25x56 PMII and the ring are Bobro QD one piece. I appreciate any suggestions.

I'm running a Leupold mark 4 15 Moa on my 26" and the mark 4 two piece on my 20". Looking at going one piece soon. Not sure if I like the two piece set up.
Badger is the best IMO
I am looking at a budget picatiny scope base to put on my grandpa's old 721 so I can move the rings closer together and not have to keep using two offset rings. Its just an old hunting rifle so with budget in mind I have been looking at the weaver base. I'm pretty sure the 700 base will work on a 721. Any confirmation on this?
Near Mfg. or Murphy Precision
I have two w/ two piece and one single rail.
All MKIV.
I much prefer the two piece.
Solid, low, and plenty of loading port finger space.
Near by far.
have them all egw broke recoil lug ,badger good ,love the near
I would say Near as well. I have used Richards's bases on a Rem 700, TRG 22 and a brake for the TRG 22. His bases for the TRG 22/42 are much better than the Sako base. I have been to Richard's shop and seen him work and his attention to detail and quality of work is amazing imho.
I have broke Nightforce base. Badger is also weak design. Ken Farrell is my choice now. I don't think there is any better.
I use nothing but Ken Farrell bases, they aren't cheap, but they are the best IMHO
175 bucks for the near? Some of you guys sure like paying 100 bucks more than you have to, fuck that!

Cant go wrong with seekins precision bases and rings.
The mark 4 is nice
+1 for Badger
I like USO rails personally.
I have a 20moa Badger base on my M40 and love it, but if you don't want to spend the money I have a 20moa TPS XP Tactical 1 piece base on all of my remington 700's. make sure you get the alloy steel and not the aluminum one. cost is low at only $65 but I wouldn't recommend it if I wasn't happy with it.
Im running a DBM so finger space isn't a problem.
Don't press check? Do not need to clear - ever? add one?
I do like the space. Just me-
JUDAS PRIEST! $175. for a Near rail?? I don't think so!
I have owned Leupy, Nightforce and EGW bases. I have the Ken Farrell 20MOA base and the machining is outstanding. The Ken Farrell is far beefier than any others that I have seen.
Seekins Precision...
Integral Pic rail for me 
How does a scope mount cause a recoil lug to brake?
+1 for Near Manufacturing
I have the Seekins Precision mount and ring and have had zero issues with them.
Since when is large tactical poor quality. I think they make some damn nice stuff.
I'm running the Blackhawk extended 20moa with recoil lug. Very reasonably priced and a great quality.
Another vote for the Seekins Precision. I have never been disappointed with anything Glen makes. I've always found his components to be in of the highest quality.
I always get NEAR when I can, have a couple Badgers too.
This is what I used on my r700, I most likely could have gotten by and not bed it, but....bedding the rail is too easy of a step to by-pass.
Near is the best imo.
You get what you pay for. There are plenty of other choices that are very good. You use a S&B so.....

You will want to run a 45 MOA base with the S&B, so I would say Near as well. I run a 20MOA Nightforce rail on a 338 Edge with a S&B 5-25, I can only get to 19.6 mils on the 2nd rev of the turret, so a 45 MOA is ideal. Seekins makes a 30MOA LA rail, I always choose Seekins first, great guy with amazing customer service and products, plus he is a great guy.

I use Seekins Precision bases and rings on most of my rifles and they have all been top notch.
I chose Badge here is the link if you want to take a look... "Budget Sniper Rifle" 700 SPS - YouTube
