[QUOTE="woodnut, post: 975399, member: 17593"] Odd, but I was reading an old issue ( Sept. 2000) of Rifle magazine where Ross Seyfried answered a question just like yours! He opined that your type" rings have one basic weakness. That is, the front ring is the only one with any real solid connection to the rifle. The opposing screws in the rear base more or less only control windage and lack any real power to hold the scope against its violent forward urges." I fully agree with Mr. Seyfried. I also wrote an article for this web site in Jan. '12 about ARs. In it I spoke of mounting scopes. You may want to review it and about mid way is the part about scopes. While I haven't heard of the brand you said you wanted to get, Doesn't mean they aren't good. But, my preference now is for a Weaver style mounting system. The brand I have grown to admire is TPS. I use them on all my ARs. I use the aluminum ones, too. Reasons I love them is that they lock everything up tight and NEVER move, and I have NEVER had to lap a set . Come with instructions that make you say, duh, of course that's the way to mount them ! Hope this helps some. [/QUOTE]
