I feel that you want to keep the objective end of the scope as close to the barrel as possible without touching it. This helps keep the line of sight close to the bore line. I have used Leupold and/or Redfield mounts and rings almost exclusively for years and never had any regrets. The rings come in various heights for different applications. Yeah, they cost a little more, but are worth it in my opinion.

With a 40mm non-AO scope you can prob use the low rings with no probs.

Warne maxima rings and bases. Strongest and most cosistant set up you are likely to find and still not break your pocket book. They are a two piece, Weaver style base which, IMHO, is stronger and looks much better than a one piece base.

You should be able to use a low ring with the FF-II scope. I have one mounted on a Remington 700 and another on a Howa and both use low rings with about 1/16th of an inch clearance.

Be patient grass hopper.

You can get these rings and bases form Midwayusa.com...... $20 for a set of bases and $27.50 for 1" matte rings.
