Hi All,

Can any of you 700 LTR owners recommend a 0 MOA rail and ring combination for mounting a 50mm objective on said rifle? I just got my new Viper last week and already had some Leupold rings on the rifle so I just went with those for the time being. I'd like to upgrade the mounts, but there's quite an array of sizes available from all these different vendors (as opposed to the Leupold low/med/high) and I have no clue what the best size is for mounting a 50mm scope on a 700 LTR.

I was just hoping one of you 700 LTR owners could make a recommendation so I could just go click BUY instead of trying to figure out all the right sizes for things which I would, no doubt, bungle completely.

Thanks,

Russ

Our department rifles are LTR's with Mark4 4.5-14x50's. We are running Mark4 20 moa bases and mark four medium rings. This puts the bell just about an 8th inch above the barrel.

I know you said 0 moa but I thought this might help.

Hey Bighouse,

Thanks - 20 MOA would be fine too, as I'm planning on getting a better rifle (also a 700 of some sort) in a few months. I'll check those out.
