X-Bolt Rings/Base... Oh, and I'm back...

Hey y'all, I've been out of touch for a while. Other things took priority in my life over guns for a few years, and I'm finally back to the point where I am able to balance things and be an enthusiast again... I know, shame on me for staying gone for so long...

Now, on to the question at hand... I picked up a Browning X-Bolt Hunter in .300WSM today, along with it I bought a Zeiss Terra 3x in 3-9x42mm. I had a bad experience one time with the Browning/Talley X-Lock rings, so I picked up a set of DNZ rings for the time being to get me by until I find something else. Unfortunately, they didn't have the 1-piece DNZ GameReaper base/rings that I wanted...

But since I'm going to be replacing the rings/base soon, I figured I'd ask for y'alls opinion on a good base/rings setup. I have two thoughts so far, and I'd like your opinions on them, as well as any suggestions you may have.

Option 1: DNZ GameReaper 1-piece Amazon Link

Option 2: Weaver bases Amazon Link and Burris Signature Zee Rings Amazon Link

Your thoughts on either of those?
