IMHO, game at that distance, even coyote size, 6.5mm and up should be looked at. And it should have a magnum case with ALOT of powder behind it. Next are the rings you mentioned. The Burris rings, and any rings with inserts, are not associated with accuracy. Inserts do not provide a scope with the kind of return to zero needed for long distance precision. They just aren't going to cut it. So often, people spend money on a rifle & scope, then put junk in between. Now your choice in the EGW base is fantastic! The EGW base is a precision machined chunk of 7075 T6 aluminum, designed for a long distance set up. But I would take a second thought on your ring choice. Some others to think about, if you prefer the horizontal lockup style, are Badger Ord., Seekins, TPS & Leupold Mk4.
