[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 507967, member: 22335"] For me, it depends on caliber too. For "smaller" calibers (that being relative) the usual bases and rings can hold fine. For larger ones the windage screws just won't hold up to big kicking rifles - I wish I could show you the ones from the 338-378 Weatherby my Dad just purchased. They are chewed up quite a bit. Double dovetail bases/rings can eliminate the worry about windage screws but are a bit tougher to set up, and of course are less forgiving. [/QUOTE]
