RE: Ring height for 44mm objective lens?
I think I went with the high rings on my Howa Varminter with my Nikon Monarch 5.5-16.5x44. I had it mounted locally, and I think the guy at the shop told me that the medium rings just didn't quite get the scope up high enough above the bull barrel. If I were you I'd take it to a shop and give both medium and high rings a try.

Here is what I've got coming so far-
Remington 700SPS Varmint in .308 finally
(new shipment of 25 in at my dealers source)
Scope- Burris Signiature 4-16 x 44m BALLPLX Mat PA (about to order)
Rings & Base-I was looking at Leupold because that what I've used in the past, (with success anyways) I've tried going cheap before and paid the price.

What kind of rifle and in what caliber? What type of ringmounts and then finally what brand of medium scope?

Ruger mediums give me about 0.080(2mm) clearance on a 44mm scope...

Is aone piecebase the standard when it comes to (attempting
) long range shooting?

for a varmint 308 and that kind of glass I use burris signature rings with .010 inserts, that way you can take full advantage of the rifles capabilities.
