SWFA 3-9 to Mount on Xbolt 300 WSM

[BCD]

Any suggestions on rings and bases to mount a 3-9 SS on a Hells Canyon Speed In 300 WSM?

Thank you!

If weight is a consideration I'd run Talley Lightweights or Warne Mountain Tech pic base with NF Ultra-Lite or Hawkins rings.

I’m not overly concerned about weight. I’m told a 20 MOA rail is a good idea??

Are you going to be doing a lot of long range shooting? At normal hunting distances you won't need a 20MOA base.

The warne mountain tech base is a nice option, any good pair of rings will work (ARC, APA, Seekins, nightforce, hawkins, etc).

Some quick numbers from JBM - 2900 fps with a 180 accubond will get you enough elevation to dial a little over 1000 yards, 200 ELDx @ 2840 (what hornady precision hunter ammo clocks out of my xbolt) will get you a little over 1200 yards before running out of adjustment. If you plan to shoot that far i'd look at a 20 moa base. My 300 WSM xbolt doesn't see those distances so it is fine without.

I should hope it would give him 100yds
