[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1326513, member: 77249"] Your Gun Smith has some good points. You must align the rings with a solid steel rod and lap them to get safe a non scratching fit on the scope. If the gun is a reasonable kicking rifle and the scope is not to big and heavy you can get by with the lighter Leupold dovetail bases or The bases with dovetail front and rear windage screws. If using a hard kicking rifle and a heavy scope, or for a non problem set up, A picatinny rail and cross bolt rings are a near must have system. A shooting friend of mine had a 338 RUM with a heavy scope that battered the dovetails loose on a set of mounts in just a few shots. He put a rail set up and ended the problem. [/QUOTE]
