Rifle Scopes Rem 700 SA 1-piece picatinny base on a budget?

[Nebraska]

I see a lot of 1-piece base options for $120+ but are there any standouts at 1/2 that price? I don't know much about these but can it really be all that hard to produce a quality piece for +/- $60, really??

Also, I'm going to be shooting a 308 out to 600 yards regularly but some folks say I'll want to go to 1000 soon enough so are there any disadvantages to a 20MOA base at 600 and under? I wouldn't mind having the ability to reach out buy my main focus will be 50-600 yards. Thanks!

LaRue 20moa runs under $100, some people believe that recoil lugs help.

Check out EGW's rails, the HD rail is superb for the money.

TPS is about the top of the heap on the budget rails. IOR offers some savings as well.

I run a Seekins... did its job today at the range. Why not pay a little more for better quality? Gives you piece of mind that it's you screwing up the shot, not your equipment.

++ for the EGW HD. Used one on my .308 for the last 1300 rnds with no problems. Matched with their rings it's a good solid set-up for reasonable money. 20 moa will not hurt you at 600 and will probably be needed at 1000 to keep you in the meat of the scopes adjustment range.

For a budget setup I would recomend TPS, they may be a bit hard to reach on the phone but the product is very good.

+1 for LaRue. Tough and comes with vial of locktite.
