Gentlemen:
I have always wanted to set up a serious long range rifle, but could never justify spending the amount of money it takes to do so. Long story short, i came into a bunch of 300 win mag ammo for free and now definitely have the need lol. I know it's ass backwards to set up a rifle and hope it eats the kind of ammo that i have, but hey it's worth a try.
I purchased a Remington 700 Sendero (300 Win Mag) and a Swarovski Z6 5-30x50 that i plan on getting ballistic turrets for. Now that i spent all that money i don't want to skimp and get some Leopold rings and bases. My question is what kind of mounting hardware do you all suggest? I spend a lot of time in west texas and plan on learning to shoot some long distances. However, i have zero experience with setting up rifles like this. Any help is appreciated.
TLDR: What kind of scope mounting hardware would you use for high end rifle/scope for a long distance rifle? Not the regular old Leopold stuff...
