M700 s/a.

Any links would be helpful.

Re: Rings and bases ....where to look ?

I use a base from Near Manufacturing and my own rings to attach as USO SN-3 to a TRG-42. The Near base has 25 MOA putting POI 3 mrad high at 100m with the recital at its low limit. Zeros at approx 600m.

The Near rails are excellent. I can say the same for my rings, with personal bias of course.

I just put a NF 3.5-15x50 on a 700 in a set of low Seekins rings on a 20 moa Seekins base.
It's the first set of really quality base/rings I've ever had. I'm impressed with them!

Where did you get them ?

Sorry 'bout that.

Liberty Optics
Great folks to deal with, and I think they're a sponsor here. Looks like their stock is running low right now.
SWFA also has them, and I think they had several in stock a few days ago. I'm going to use a set on the new NF if I don't have alignment problems with the receiver holes on my rifle.

The Seekins aren't cheap, there's no sense in throwing a fine English saddle on a $3 blanket.
