Rem 700 300WM 5R scope base?

[Wormyjames]

Hey everybody, I'm new to the site--this is my second post--I did my first post in the introduce yourself forum...
I have this Rem 5R and a SWFA 3-15x42 scope but I need rings and a base so I was wondering what y'all would recommend--one piece base or two--and what rings?
I'd like to be able to shoot to 600 yards and eventually stretch it out to 800 and then maybe even to a 1000...
Second question is how do I tell what "generation" mr 5R is?
Thanks, Rick

I recommend the EGW HD 20MOA bases. I have them on all my rifles...Including rimfires.

Base: https://swfa.com/egw-hd-picatinny-rail-1-piece-scope-mount-68.html

Rings: https://swfa.com/seekins-precision-scope-30mm-rings.html

I also have that same scope, base, and rings setup on my 5R .300WM.

As for what Generation your rifle is, if it's a stainless finish with a green & black stock, you have a Gen 1. If your rifle is black cerakoted and has a tan & black stock, you have a Gen 2 rifle.

Green stock and stainless barrel equals gen1
I like picatinny rails, usually Moa for bases on my lr rifles. Any decent rail will work, on a 300wm I would personally go with steel over aluminum. If you want cheap rings that are good, I've had good luck with Burris zee rings. My preference is leupold mark 4 rings(aluminum ones)
That's what works for me
