Double-posting is a no-no. Please check the stickies in the General forum.

I can't imagine it would be difficult to find 1 or 2 piece bases for a magnum length Model 70. A little searching should find you plenty of options. As for accurate loads, each gun is different enough that you'll want to try out 3 or 4 different bullets and powders to find a combination that will meet your particular needs and suit your rifle.

I've always had good results with the Burris line, as well as Leupold, and they both look good (bases & rings). Here's a link to Burris:

midwayusa.com is a good source for either.

The model 70 Super Grade is most certainly a very fine rifle, congrats. Why I sold one I had is still a great mystery. Finding a scope base/mount for the S/G in .300WM should be very simple. I believe it's the same action as the 30/06 and not the longer action needed for the .300 and .375 H&Hs. Standard one piece Leupold mounts with medium height (depending on your scope's ocular lens size) rings should be a pretty simple fit for most any 3-9x40 scope. A Leupold that size fit's fine, but a 2-7x33 would be too short between the "bells" for that mount & rings. That Leupold system looks really good on my model 70s.

for a 300WM, i personally would stay away from one piece and two piece, windage adjustable bases. double dovetail, weaver type cross bolt, or something like the Talley light weight one piece bases will give a more solid mount IMO.
