Re: New scope mount help. Remington 700 5R
Arguably the best = Seekins for alloy...Badger Ordnance for Steel.
On the "cheap" but still of reasonable quality = EGW or Weaver Tactical.
Remember...BUY ONCE, CRY ONCE!!!

Leupold Mark 4 15-moa base is around $125, but you can often find them for around $100 here on the Hide. They are steel, and work very good.

I put a tps steel 20moa on my savage 10fp along with a set of their steel rings. The alloy versions can be had for more budget minded or ounce shaving folk. Just what I have and it works how its supposed to.

Seekins all the way. I've used TPS stuff in the past but after purchasing some Seekins recently I wouldn't use anything else.

Re: New scope mount help. Remington 700 5R
if you are not going to run a dbm, please think about a 2 piece scope base.
i wish i had gone 2 piece makes it easier to top load your ammunition

On my 5r I have a 20 MOA Nightforce base with Burris rings. Spent less than $200 for everything.

Seekins is my first choice. I like their fit and finish. I also have badger and NF, which are fine- of course.

Re: New scope mount help. Remington 700 5R
I would fixed with my current Based and Ring.
Badger also available Aluminum Ring for Competition Shooting.
I use Badger Ring (Steel) in my XCR with Leupold Mark 4 8.5-25x50mm ER/T for Tactical shooting / Hunting and use Badger Ring (Aluminum) in my LB Tactical Recon with NightForce BR 8-32x56mm for F-Class.
Both provide the same result but the Aluminum will help you to reduced weight for competition.

Re: New scope mount help. Remington 700 5R
The Nightforce or Badger bases would both serve you quite well for a base. I'd go with a steel base and some kind of lighter weight ring (like NF Ultralite or Badger alloys). I've only played with the Seekins a little bit, but they seem to make nice stuff as well.

What size screws is the 5R receiver tapped for?
Seekins makes them in 6-48 and 8-40. (I think all Remington 700s are 6-48, right?)

They should be 6-48. My 5r was 6-48 and my current LTR is also 6-48

Thanks much.
Picking up a 5R on Monday and starting to get all the bits and pieces together.

This thread is over 7 years old. I'm pretty sure the guy that started it found a scope mount LONG time ago.
