To protect the innocent, my friend "Bob" has never mounted a scope on a bolt action rifle.

He knows what scope he wants to purchase and how to shoot the things, but doesn't know what hardware is required to mount on say a remington 700 in 300 Magnum or .308 (actually I think he plans to do the hunter 300 Mag first and hone his skills before going to the high end 308).

When I, I mean he, looked at the rifle, it looks like it has 4 pre-drilled holes with screws, 2 each fore and after of the action.

Do scope rings include mounting options? or is that additional. He's been spoiled by rails from the AR world or lightweight 22s with el-cheap tasco scopes.

And shove in the right direction would be appreciated as even the search presents a bewildering array of options that seems beyond me, I mean him.
