[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1084186, member: 10291"] I have not seen any issues between using 1 vs 2 piece bases with heavy scope/heavy recoil rifles but I have seen problems with other shooters that were caused by poor mounting practices. I pay extra attention to the mounting system because of the increased inertia that places stress on the mounting system. Fitment, epoxy bedding of bases, torque of the screws, etc......with either design. A good muzzle break is probably the best practice. Nightforce chose to design their 1 piece pic rail with a recoil lug that gives extra support against the receiver which makes me think they may have seen some effects, particularly with the weight of their scopes.
