[QUOTE="brogers, post: 13488, member: 53"] guys! I don't throw rocks at those who use "tactical" (translate "beefed up") rings but I don't use em. (I have) My thinking is that they emphasize the misalighnment inherit in the system unless you lap them (a laborous procedure)to overcome this. The standard Hunting mounts made by Lupy and z rings by Burris are more forgiving for misalighned bases and in effect swivel between front and back rings allowing for less stress between the mounting points. I am only concerned with heat stresses after firing feeling that it's gonna be hard to knock the zero off in most hunting applications anyway and considering what's holding the reticle inside the scope and there are only 4 little screws holding the whole mess anyway unless you count the loc tite under the weaver base. ...and it being mounted without stresses affects it less if you follow what I'm saying. The Lupy or the Burris Z-ring with the Nylon inserts are the best but the Lupy needs lock tight on the horizontal mount screw to keep it from changing under recoil. The Tactical competetors feel better having the toughness of the badger and the fact they can be ordered with taper to accomidate long distance shots is reason enough to use them. MY shooting is almost always under 800 so my scope will elevate enough to cover it so that isn't a factor with me. A coyote is a little bitty muther at that range and beyond that I leave him be if he don't come in. That's just my drift on the matter. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
