[QUOTE="Full Curl, post: 1326346, member: 47602"] Hi. I recently dropped off a stock rem 700 LSS (270wsm) with my gunsmith for him to custom fit and bed into a new HS Precision stock. He gave me a little grief with the rings I currently have on it… Leupold dovetails. [URL]https://www.leupold.com/hunting-shooting/mounting-systems/dual-dovetail-mounting-systems/[/URL] He basically told me that there are better mounting systems out there and he recommended detachable rings. He said the dovetails are strong as hell but not a great option if one ever wanted to change scopes and can be finicky to align exactly correct with each other. I was in a hurry so had to get going, but I’ve been thinking about what he said and will give him a call to further discuss this week, but I thought I’d ask on here what some of you more experienced guys think and would recommend for a good ring and base option for this rifle? It’s just a hunting rifle… and I like one and done type options for long term dependability. I’ve never used the detachable rings but thought they might be a good option...??? Not sure. The scope will be a Leupold with a 1” tube if it matters. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
