Bases & rings for Elite 4200 6-24x40 on Rem 700VS
Hello Gentlemen!
I was hoping you can give me a hand determining what kind of bases and rings would be the best to settle a Bushnell Elite 4200 6-24x40 Riflescope (as you know that's quite a long thing):
http://bushnell.com/productinfo/riflescopes/specs/426242m.html
to be able to go as low as possible (in terms of the height of the scope above the barrel) and as long as possible (in terms of the mounting length).
Of course! Forgot to mention. The gun is Remington 700 VS in .308 Win. The gun is going to be primarily for paper punching, so no need for quick release or things like that.
My preliminary choice is:
Item # - Item Name
Item Description -
51734 - Leupold Std 1 Pc Long Rear Base - Matte Rem 700 RH-SA
49910 - Leupold Extension Rings Std 1" - Matte Low
One piece base considered as a better lining up condition for rings. Extension rings are considered to enlarge the mounting length and allow better scope / eye / glasses / whatever adjustments
Could you please prove me right or wrong?
Thank you hundred times in advance!

Are you sure you will need extension rings for that scope? I would think that standard Leupold rings would be fine.

You don't need extension rings for this one! That is the same scope that was on my 700VS 243AI until today when I sold it(scope only). Actually it was the B&L Elite 4000....same scope! That rifle has Leupold 2 peice bases on it but will have the one peice base on it when it is rescoped! NO NEED FOR THE EXTENSION RINGS!!!!! GHD 0 -
You dont need extention rings for that set up, BUT the strongest
mount system will have the maximum ring spacing possible SO i recomend the leupold REVERSABLE FRONT Duel dove tail two piece bases,
this will let you extend the front base outward tward the muzzle
end a bit more giving you more ring spacing for a stronger mount.0 -
Talk to Guns and Glass about Warne rings and bases if you want really solid strong ones.

These are my personal favorites a little pricey but solid as a rock and the 20 moa forward cant of the rails will increase the long distance capabilities of your scope. The rings are milled as a numbered set so little or no lapping is required when mounted to Badger rails. the ring dimensions are shown on their site and I think the standards will work for you.
