I started a thread a week or so ago regarding scope suggestions and now need base and ring opinions. They will go on a Remington Sendero 7mag and I think I'd like to go with a 1 piece picatinny rail this time. I don't plan on shooting long range so I don't think I need a rail with MOA built in? The scope tube diameter is 30mm. I'm looking for a good solid set-up, but I don't have the budget for the super high end mounts. Thanks in again!

No it doesn’t matter. A 700LA action is the same across the board.

Tally one piece mount/rings is what I just put on my new to me rem 700. Their extended set gave me enough rear movement to get things right.
Pic rail is nice these days with scopes having shorter more compact main tubes. Allows a lot more versatility in where you place the rings to give the right eye relief. Saw a Trijicon option on ExpertVoice and they have Warne on there too, would think you could find one.

It won’t hunt. I’ve had rifles with 20 MOA and ones without and can’t tell a difference when looking through the scope. Only trouble you may run into is getting on paper. Your POI will be considerably higher if you start at 25-50 and walk it back. I would strongly recommend a good bore sight job before heading to the range.
You can also bore sight yourself if you can get the rifle completely steady on a rest. Pull the bolt out, look down the barrel from the butt stock, line the bore up with your target, then without moving the gun, look through the scope and adjust the crosshairs to the same mark you lined up in the bore. Takes some practice but it’s the only way I do it on my bolt guns.
