Scope mounting opinions Login/Join

Evening, I need to know the community’s opinion on scope mounting. I have a 300 Win Mag that I am going to mount a scope on. My buddy advised me to just put the Leupold STD base and rings due to weight. I was thinking of using the Mark 4 system. I am concerned that the std system will not be as robust. Any feedback would be appreciated as usual.
Thanks in advance.

What rifle?
What scope?
What use?

I often use the simple Warne bases & rings. I will say, your 300 Win Mag will have a fair bit of recoil. As a hunting rifle I wouldn’t expect high round counts though.

I don't think a Mark 4 is needed on a hunting rifle. I prefer the Leupold Dual Dovetail over the STD, though.

Standard will be just fine.
Has been for decades.

I’d go with Talley lightweight scope rings personally.

DNZ Game Reaper is what you're what you're after. Lightweight, 1 piece design, pretty much my go to mount for hunting applications.

A-Bolt?
A-Bolt II?
AB3?

The first two are the same for scope mounts. The AB3 is different.

Great choice of optic. Standard Leupold bases/rings are proven and absolutely reliable. Personally I would use Tally one piece base and rings. On my rifles I believe 'less parts is more better' LOL

I’ve never had one that let me set the scope up the way I wanted, so they always end up looking really strange. With the 2 piece model or Talley lightweight you can reverse one or both rings to get a better fit.
