    SWFA SS Scope for hunting?

    with the 20 moa base being a picitanny rail is that a pretty soild set up? There is no movement between the scope rings and the picitanny base? To me picitanny is for quick disconnect of attachment but I dont know if it is a solid set up for a long range rifle where percision counts. Am I right...
