Durasite offers some cheap all steel quick release ring and base sets. For the money its hard to beat them. They wont fit other rings of bases though so i switched to Warnes steels bases. They even offer a silver finish if you have a SS gun. I like Warnes rings too but the Burris rings with the "liners" are really nice too.
Just throwing it out there as an option. This is my Elite in a set of Leupold medium rings and bases with a Bushnell 3200 Elite 4-12x40 DOA 600. There is clearance between the bell and barrel, just hard to see in the picture. Your bell will be a smaller diameter so there will be no issue with clearance using any medium rings.
