[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 15945, member: 25"] Thanks Sam, you have joined my list of pros who verified that point. Toes, I sure as hell do not want you to think that I rubbed this in personally about using Badgers etc. I agree that not everyone needs big-buck mounts and have recommended rings like the Warne Maximas many times - they just plain work and they cost about 50 bucks. There are lots of fine mounting systems out there, matter of fact there are some systems that cost more than the tacticals. I apologize for my choice of words in that post, I was cranky about some other stuff at the time and had no right to say that ANYBODY is full of ****. My point about 19 dollar rings is that they do the job for the average shooter who buys a box of ammo from Walmart about every two or three years. I am not making any dollar value point so much as to try to say that most shooters I see at the range have some godawful stuff holding their scopes on their rifles - those see-through mounts give me the willies. Most guys seem to want to cut corners when they select mounting systems or they let the gunshop guys do that for them. Since I have the opportunity to test a lot of shooting equipment I decided to put the best mounts I could find on my rifles. After trying a lot of styles I came to the conclusion that nothing is as simple and strong as the Badgers/MK4's. Bottom line is that we are here to share info on long range hunting and shooting. I hope to shoot the new Nosler Accubonds out to 700 yards tomorrow, also will try to recover some Interbonds and Accubonds out at 500 from my bullet testing clay - if I can hit the block of clay.
