Leupold DD bases, Rem 700 right height?
I'm getting set to mount up my brother's Rem 700 BDL in 25-06 and have Leopold dual dovetail bases installed and would like Leupold rings. I'm not sure what scope will go on, more than likely a VX3 2.5-8 or 4.5-14x40. Can I get by with low rings or have to use medium?

He'd take some scope recommendations also. Mostly a deer/coyote rifle in open country.

Thanks,
Chris

There's a big difference in the two scopes you list

I have a 3-9x40 Lupy in low Lupy D.D's and it fits great.

Not when it comes to choosing the rings. Lows will work with either.

OK, we have a VX3 3.5-10x40 with Boone&crocket reticle coming which should fit in the low rings. If not then I guess we get the mediums.

Thanks,

Chris

It will fit with room to spare.
