Hey folks,
What is the best, reasonably priced scope mounting system for a Rem 700 heavy barrel in 222 Rem, and why? Scope will be a Leupold Vari-x II, Weaver Grand slam, or Burris Fullfield in approx. 3-10 or 4-12. I'm not interested in quick release type mounts.

I prefer Warne.  For a really classy look, their Premier series of permanently attached rings and bases fill the bill.  For a lot less money, and still pretty good looks, the Maxima steel rings and bases are quite a bargain.  Both can be had in a stainless steel "finish" but the Maxima can be had in solid stainless steel.  I have over two dozen of both types of rings, and in permanently attached and QD, on rifles from .223 to .50 BMG, handguns and rifles, and they work.  Look good, fair price, and they work, who could ask for more?  Best prices I have found are from Lock, Stock & Barrel if you are interested.
