[QUOTE="monster, post: 645458, member: 46765"] Thanks for the welcome and advice Feenix & Bruce, I've actually been reading this board for a bit longer than when I first joined. Whenever I would type a question, this site would come up in many of my searches, so I bookmarked it, would look in for a while, and decided to join. It is by far one of the most helpful forums around. I read too many other sites where big egos get in the way instead of discussion. Anyway, I joined I just read my post again and I wasn't clear. The Leupold rings that I purchased and the gunsmith eventually used were Dovetail, does that make it easier and faster? I have a friend who thinks that dovetail rings alleviate alignment problems and that they can only line up one way. I'm not totally convinced because I believe since there are two parts there is some room for error. I apologize for the ignorance here, I've only purchased hunting rifles before that had a scope already mounted, so this was never an issue, nor have I ever spent any money on a "hunting" scope. I guess I should have stuck with picatinny system and called it a day but that would have looked a bit odd probably. [/QUOTE]
