[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1326370, member: 27307"] Based on the current achievements in scope mounting technology, the older Leupold dual dovetail rings are out-of-date. This doesn't mean that they are bad but there is new technology which might be a boon to your situation should your decisions about a new scope change. Many shooters have jumped on the Picatinny rail system for mounting riflescopes. You can have a variety of angle changes in these rails to enhance long range shooting and the rings are generally all interchangeable based on the Picatinny system and scope tube size. There is a good deal of range in the pricing of these components so you can stay less expensive or jump onto the biggest and bestest rails and rings available. I use the rail system almost exclusively because it allows me to change scopes easily yet have a basic return to position ability. Many of the rings are precision machined, eliminating the need to lap rings in order to avoid ring marks on your expensive scope. These components offer flexibility and rigidity not found in the older style rings and bases. Regards. [/QUOTE]
