[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 906720, member: 22069"] I am a firm believer in choosing components based on the intended application. If you intend to mount a heavy scope (like a Nightforce) on a hard recoiling rifle, by all means, spend the money to buy rings and bases that will stand up to the punishment. OTOH, I use EGW bases with Warne rings on most of my rifles, with excellent results. Of course, none of the rifles I use this setup on are chambered for heavy recoiling cartridges and I am not mounting heavy scopes. The ONLY issue I have ever had with the EGW mounts was because of misalignment of the mounting holes in my Remington 700 receiver. Both of the Remington 700's I have owned, made 10 years apart from one another, had the SAME misalignment issue. I have never had that problem on another make of rifle. I do have a couple of rifles that will be getting more expensive rails because of availability issues for the actions themselves and because one of the rifles produces quite a bit of recoil and I intend to mount a fairly heavy scope on it at some point. I often see the question asked about a particular item, "How good is it?" I rarely see the application specified alongside the question. With the purpose unspecified, I tend to consider both the question and the answer to have very little meaning. [/QUOTE]
