Thanks for the replies. I was going to order the Badger rings and base but I decided I didn't want to spend 300 dollars on a base and rings so I ordered the TPS super low rings instead. I know some don't like them on here but I decided to try them myself. I also ordered a EGW 20MOA base.
I just picked up a set of steel TPS (low) rings to hold onto my USO 3.5-15x44 scope with 30mm tube and there is about an 1/8" gap between objective and barrel. The quality of the rings were much nicer than what I was expecting considering they were only $74.00 from SWFA
