Rifle Scopes Nightforce 3.5-15x50: Rings and bases for hunting

[Cascade Precision]

Well, I think like many people, I have just about wasted my budget on my rifle and scope, and still need some bases and rings.

Savage LRH 300winmag
Nightforce 3.5-15x50

I have about $100 for bases and rings, but I may be able to scrape some more together (had a TON of OT at work this last pay period). If I need to wait a bit for rings and bases, I will consider it, just want to be prepared for spring black bear.

I am thinking about a 1-piece Brownell's 1913 rail (around $50) and Burris Signature Z-rings (these already come with a pair of 0.000 and a pair of 0.010 inserts).

I would like to keep the scope low, but am interested in recommendations. I am thinking that HIGH rings will get me the needed height above barrel, plus spare in case I ever need to re-barrel.

Am I on track? I already have the reloading stuff, so the last bit is really rings and bases.

I should have my scope next week, just wanted to be fully prepared is all.

Thanks.

If you've already spent that much money, why skimp out now?

i'm with rebelbell, but if you want a good pic rail and some good rings, and your determined not to go with a nightforce setup, go with a talley long action savage base with 20 moa and some burris xtreme tactical rings.

Believe me, I did not intend to skimp out. Initially, Nightforce was not even an option.

If money would allow, I would go Nightforce (or Warne), just can not afford it at this time, nor in the near future for that matter.

Talley and Burris tactical rings I can do. Will look at them.

EGW 20MOA and Burris XTR are what I'm putting my NF 3-15x50 on. Scope should get delivered tomorrow.
