have a nightforce 5.5x22x56 scope for my rem 700 looking to get a nice set of rings, any recommendations? not sure on height either...base is 20 moa and if it matters its in a mcrees stock
 
these are the only things I use anymore, just remember to order 2.

30mm Picatinny Offset Ring, w/ 1" Insert by Barska - Rifle Scope Rings by Barska

if you order 4 you can mount a second scope and look through them like binos

I have two of these and can't figure out what to do with them though I like the idea of binos.

Back on topic, I only buy one piece mounts now that include rings. The last I purchased, and I am very please except the front mounting screw should have been shorter, was a DNZ heavy duty with four bolts per ring and a 20moa drop. It is well built though from aluminum. If they made a a stainless version, I would be lining up. If you go that route, make sure the front bolt doesn't bottom on the barrel and I would bed it with loctite to the action, use moderate heat from a heat-gun to remove. I will (probably) never buy a rail with separate rings again as there are too many clamping issues. I shoot a 300 win mag and it is hard on everything.

I have a DNZ freedom reaper tactical (4 screws per ring) 20 moa 1 piece base made for a savage round receiver. (They make them for Rem 700 SA/LA models too.) Fits like a glove. Mounted a Vortex PST 6-24x50 to my .308 and no problems after 1k rounds. Very reasonable cost @ about $120 too. Got it from SWFA. Use the DNZ website to find the correct model number then search for that on SWFA.

After trying a few different sets of rings from several manufacturers and spending a 4 digit number of funds on rings over the years I'll pretty much stick with Seekins from here on out.

That might be the one I have. I remember there was a heavy duty, four bolt per ring. I think it is well made, fits perfectly, but they could send an optional front bolt that is ground shorter. I have a machine shop so it wasn't a problem to make a bolt, but others would require smithing.
 
One piece
Spuhr first (no qualification necessary)
AI 2nd (half the price, nothing fancy, quality in what is there)

Rings
Seekins
no 2nd choice

what do you guys think of badger ordnance or NF rings? thanks for the sugestions
 
Although I love the idea of VJJ's binocular scopes, and who in their right mind would doubt Barska quality, I really like the Badgers I have them on my 338LM, 308, and 7mm and soon to be on a 6.5CR. Never had a problem never need lapped, and to date never left marks on the scopes, and always paired with a Badger rail.
