So I copped a BEAUTIFUL virgin Remington 700 BDL in 30-06 with Iron Sights. I also happen to still have my 3-18x Trijicon tenMiler that I would like to mount on. Any reccomendations for scope rings so I can have the luxury of switching between my irons and crosshairs?
 
The Sadlak mount is pretty high, with a tunnel to look thru. Nearly all Picatinny style rings will have the recoil/cross bolt blocking the tunnel.

There may by some that are compatible with a lower mount, such as the ARMS.
 
Talley and Warne both make QD rings, though on a 700, the bases may occlude your irons. I have Warne Maxima QD rings to mount my Trijicon Credo HX 1-6x24 on my Ruger Hawkeye Alaskan 375 Ruger. The Ruger rifles have an integral dovetail of sorts, so I don't need a base. It's nice having the option to remove the scope should I ever need to, but the 1-6 Credo HX runs like a red dot on 1x with a wide field of view for brush work, so I don't think I'll ever need to short of breaking something.
 
QD is the answer. Peek-a-boo mounts are extra leverage for a bump to move zero.
This. My reason would have been that it makes for terrible cheek weld (or even contact) since they are always too high, but same/same.
 
Warne makes a low profile base and quick attach ring combo that is specifically designed for this, I can’t remember the part numbers but they exist, I have it on my Brown Precision Pro Hunter that is set up for dangerous game, that is built off a 700 action..
