The bases are # 45 Weaver. Weaver low rings. First i tried #15 Weaver base, but the scope ended up too low for my face and the comb of the stock. The #15 bases are what i used on the Knight Elite, and the Knight Extreme. They worked good, on those rifle, but this rifle seems to have a higher comb; i just couldn't get low enough to see the whole view in the scope.

This stock on this rifle would be great using a larger magnification scope, with a larger objective. However, in my opinion, for deer hunting, a 4X scope will make kills as far as the rifle can shoot.

The trigger on this rifle is better than excellent. Once in a rare occasion there might be a tiny amount of creep, but that is rare. The width of the actual trigger itself, feels good to my finger. I know i can adust the trigger lighter, but i haven't taken the time, nor have i felt the need. It is a good trigger. The trigger on my extreme, i have adjusted so there is zero creep, and a very crisp break at quite a low pull weight. The trigger on my elite i have kinda fought with, but it is very very good, but it has a creep more often than i would like. The way these trigger are working right now, the Exteme is the lightest with zero creep; the Mountaineer is the best hunting trigger, and the Elite trigger is excellent.
