if this hasnt been stated yet.....go with a one piece base (leupold) and quality rings (leupold).....you can have best scope money can buy but the rings and base are just as importantThat's kinda where I started. I was going to remove the rail and go with something lower. Then got to thinking about the 50 mm. But it sounds like the 50 mm isn't going to help me much.
Also, it seems there's not a ton of options for one-piece mounts like the Talley. Seems they would be more secure than a screwed on base/rail with a ring screwed onto it but I'm not an expert on it by any means.
