[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1632389, member: 75451"] We use Leupold Quick Release Base/Rings. My wife and I (my only hunting partner) both have back-up scopes already zeroed, using the brand of scope with the same zero as the primary scope. If we should have a rifle failure....we can use the other’s rifle. The only negative....her rifle will be a bit short in LOP for me, and mine would be a bit long in LOP for her. Another possible negative for her, she’s never shot my rifle (though they are both Win. Model 70’s)....the recoil may be a little over her comfort zone. However, when shooting a game animal from typical field positions, with only one or two shots fired... not an insurmountable obstacle! Shooting from the bench would be a much greater challenge! memtb [/QUOTE]
