[QUOTE="johnwm, post: 2971389, member: 67227"] Yes, when I read the title of the thread, I knew even before I opened it that it would contain numerous pics of rifles equipped with gigantic full-length pic rails...and long, big-objective scopes all clamped into short little cantilever mounts that actually gripped only a couple inches of those rails. Those rails would allow one to achieve proper ring spacing for virtually any scope by using a set of quality rings. Why would anyone choose a cantilevered one-piece mount if they didn't absolutely need to use one? Even in cases where a scope is being mounted on a rifle with a very short pic rail located too far to the rear to allow good eye relief...i.e. the sort of case that cantilevered mounts were designed to compensate for...I would be looking for ways to replace that set-up with a longer, properly-supported pic rail to allow the use of straight-up mounts.
