    Rings and bases


    What is everyon using for rings and bases on the 110 actions? I have older rifles that have the flat area on the rear and round on the front. I have used Leupold dovetails in the past but can't find them locally. Just need a recommendation so I can get glass on the 2 rifles. Thanks!

    On my Savage 10, I use Nightforce rings and bases. They cost around $250 for both.

    I just bought Burris Xtreme Tactical bases & Signature Zee rings for the flat-rear 110 I'm building.

    I use EGW bases and Burris Extreme rings.

    Farrel bases are top notch too.

    I use both EGW and Nightforce picatinny rail bases with Warne rings.

    Just installed these today, and the medium Sig Zee rings on the Tactical bases leave plenty of (but not excessive) room between the objective of my 5-20x44 Nikon Monarch and the barrel. That scope has a somewhat short tube for a long action, but had plenty of length with these bases.

    Re: Rings and bases

    Grand slam steel bases and rings or Millet steal bases and rings or combo of both.
    I do not use or recommend aluminum anymore on anything over .22 cal. center fire.

    I've used expensive stff before, but unless you're life will depend on it not breaking, I'd stick with a burris (or equivalent) standard or dual dovetail base (1 or 2 piece). And I'm a huge fan of burris signature rings. Weaver style bases with burris signature zee's would suit me, too, but there are less parts to come loose on a dual dovetail set-up. I really, really like the signatures.

    I just took the Leupold bases and Signature rings off my older 110 and replaced them with an EGW base and Signature Zee rings. I have Signatures for most of my rifles.

    .223? Aluminum. No question. The only reason that I would consider moving up to the steel base would be on a rifle that actually has some recoil and even then, it isn't really necessary. Just make sure the the crossbolt is all the way forward in the slot before tightening them down.

    Re: Rings and bases

    I'm using the aluminum on all of my rifles. From my 223 up to my sporter 338RUM and heavy 338 Edge.

    Re: Rings and bases

    I thank you guys greatly for the info. I will get them on order and get to the range working up some 68 gr. pills to try along with some 52s for grins. my remington 700 sps like the 52s with h322 pushin so im hoping for a break through on a load before going to south dakata. I know this is off subject and i dont mean to walk on someones thread. Im new to the whole forum thing. Is there anyone out there that can or has rebarreled a 110 30-06 with a heavy barrel? i loveeeeeeeeeeeee the rifle and wanna heavy barrel to shoot long range im just having problems justifying the 900bucks to put a kreiger on it? anymore advice?
