RE: scope bases and rings for tc pro hunter
Tho there is a lot of option's, I alway's liked the 1 piece set-up. I have also learned it is alway's best to get the scope down on the barrel as close as you can, which has always worked for me.
I use the 3-9-40 Lupy on top of a T/C DUO-RING MOUNT. This gives me approx 1/4" between the bell and the barrel. Perfect!
I've had this set-up for several yrs. These mounts have doubled since I bought mine and I wouldn't pay that price today.
I've have 2 of the Game Reaper DED NUTZ on different gun's, and very satisfied with them. These are percision made and require no lapping.
IMO, I would go with the DED NUTZ in med. height w/your muzzy barrel. You won't go wrong.
I would not recommend using the 1 piece mt. on other Encore barrels w/high mag. scopes. I have a Burris Sig. 6x24 on a 22-250. It was to long for the 1 piece. I could not lay into it and get the scope far enough away from my eye.
