I recently inherited my first rifle, a Remington 760 pump action. The only thing standing between me and my first hunting trip is my unmounted scope. I also inherited a vintage Tasco ranger scope along with the rifle and am eager to get the sucker mounted and sighted in. My rifle is tapped but I have several questions about rings and or base plates. My questions are,

1. Do you have to get certain ring sizes for different diameter scopes?

2. Is it better to get a base plate mounted set or individual standing rings?

3. Pros and Cons of high vs low mounted scopes.

Any advice would be appreciated greatly
