[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1326962, member: 12995"] Here's where your smith and I disagree... He is actually flat-wrong on that one. The 1-piece base adds strength to the receiver and keeps it from flexing as bad. As big of a Rem 700 fan as I am, believe me, there is still room for improvement when it comes to "beefing-up" the stock 700 receiver, and one way to help is a 1-piece base or picatinny rail setup. Another huge advantage of the (high-quality brand) picatinny rail is that it is machined from 1 solid piece of metal... Therefore, it is naturally lined-up, when you install your scope in a good quality set of rings, and generally will not ever need to have the rings lapped for proper surface contact with the scope tube. You're smith seems to a be a bit old-school in his knowledge and technology levels... There are many more advantages to the 1-piece picatinny rail and tactical ring setup, as well as the ones that have been mentioned already in the this thread. Once again, these are just my opinions, but they are based on facts. [/QUOTE]
