I just bought a Nightforce NXS 3.5-15x50 for my first rifle build and i'm wondering what are the best, reasonably priced rings to buy? Thanks in advance for the ideas.

They look pretty good, I forgot to mention that it is a remington 700 action that i'll be working with and that I will need a bse as well.

Re: Scope Rings
Depends on what you intend to use your rifle for, basically what distances you want to use it for.
The elevation adjustment of scopes are limited.
So having a 20, 25, or 30 MOA base may help to keep the scope within a useful range of elevation adjustment.

Re: Scope Rings
I plan on using the rifle for shots ranging from 200-800 yards and it is a .308, will I be okay with just flat or do I need the extra adjustment.

Re: Scope Rings
That depends on your scope.
Check the specs and see how much elevation travel it has, then run the numbers on the load you are shooting and see if the scope has enough travel (moa or mils) to get you there.
I would suggest getting the 20 moa base. You'll have the extra elevation if you need it, and it'll probably cost about the same as the 0 moa base.

Re: Scope Rings
I’ve been very happy with the Nightforce Ultralight rings and thier base. You might as well buy the 20MOA. It is the standard. Better to have it and not need it than….

Re: Scope Rings
Yes, better to have and not need than need and not have. Though the NF 15X has plenty of adjustment range @ 110 moa elev.
Think about the money you spent on that NF scope and, then, think about how you'll feel if the rings you get mark the scope tube. Maybe that's a non-issue for you. But, if you're like me, you might want to think about NF rings to protect your investment in that scope.
