I just ordered a Stevens 200 in 308. The plan is to use it as is for the upcoming deer season, then do a complete makeover after. T&T action, new stock (might actually do that right away), custom barrel, Rifle Basix trigger.
I bought a Leupold fixed 4x on quick release rings off of ebay a number of years back that I will use. Maybe I will change the rings out for something better after hunting season, don't know yet. I am quite ignorant and inexperienced when it comes to rifle optics and mounting. I bought a Remington BDL in SS back in 1992 in 270 Win. I put a Leupold VariX II 3-9 with a 50mm OL. I was always frustrated because I couldn't get the scope back far enough for proper eye relief. Now I see that I bought the wrong mount for it, but I didn't know anything and just went with it. Just to illustrate how little I knew until the last few days when I started poking around on the net about gun optics.
Anyway, I live in central New York now and I very much doubt if I'll ever get a shot at 200 yards, and probably hardly ever over 100. I just want a nice hunting rifle that I enjoy shooting.
So what would be a decent scope base to use and be sure that I have enough eye relief adjustment? I would rather go with something on the inexpensive side in case I switch out different type rings after the season.
Suggestions? Thanks for any help!
For what you want, I would recommend the Weaver 1 piece Multi Slot Tactical Weaver-Style Base for Savage 110 Series Long Action Round Rear, Matte.
It is inexpensive, and has lots of room for eye relief adjustment.

Will this still fit the short action? There is one for a short action. I don't know if the mounting holes are the same on both actions. Thanks for the link!
Sorry, I thought you had a long action. Wasn't thinking. For short action, Here are your choices in weaver bases. Just remember to shorten the screws if you need to.
