Now that LRH is having a scope ring clearance (all of which are two piece rings) I suggest the store carry at least a few one-piece ring options.
Advantages of one-piece scope rings:
1. Quality manufacturers like Nightforce have extremely close tolerances and their one-piece rings need no tedious hand lapping lapping to have a perfectly concentric circle (the goal of excellent rings) so as to put even pressure on the scope tube with no higher pressure spots that could damage scope internals.
2. One-piece rings have a single base connecting the rings (hence the name one-piece) and even if the rifle manufacturer or gunsmith has drilled the receiver holes that are not in perfect alignment
the single base of a one-piece ring mount eliminates that problem if you are not using a Pic. rail. And if using a Pic. rail it is very possible to still get the rings on in a misaligned manner.
3. One-piece mounts are easier to epoxy bed. One and done.
So Len, please offer at least the very good Nightforce one-piece rings. The come in zero MOA, 20 MOA and 30 MOA bevels and in 30 and 34 mm sizes.
