Just bought a Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56mm .250moa. I will be putting the scope on a 338 edge with a heavy barrel and a remington 700 action. I am trying to make the best decision on what rings and bases to use. Looking for some guidance and or suggestion.
 
I'd recommend Badger bases.

For the rings, I would go with Badger, Seekins, or Nightforce.

None of this matters if you do not torque the fasteners properly, so make sure you have a good torque wrench and follow the manufacturer's specifications.
 
Look at what vertical adjustment range is available in your scope, look at the ballistics for your chosen load and THEN see if you need a whatever MOA mount setup to put that bullet on the target at your maximum expected range. That is what is called matching the weapon to the mission......
