[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 57685, member: 10"] The Excaliber is a great design but I think the legal trouble A-Square had kind of scared off alot of people from using their stuff that could not be formed from other brass. Also cost is also an issue. My Heavy V-Block rifles are all single shot. I am not concerned with stiffness really as this is not an issue with a Barrel Bedding V-Block rifle where the action is totally floated and converted to a non stressed componant of the rifle except of course the first 1.5" that has to hold the bolt in place. Mounting a scope on a heavy recoiling rifle, especially one with high recoil velocitied can be hard on a mounting system. For a lower price set up that is still brute strong, I find a Burris Double Dovetail system using the Burris Signature rings is very hard to beat for strength and scope holding power. Plus they are very easy on the scope body. YOu do give up some versitility with the double dove tail which does not make it the best for extreme range shooting but for a big game rifle used out to 500 to 600 yards they are a very good system. Other then that, any of the heavy tactical rings from Leupold, Badger and many others work well. My 338 Kahn has a Standard Burris one piece base with Sig rings but my 338 Kahn also weights 26 lbs. In a more conventional weight rifle, the standard base is subject to slipping the rear scope ring. Something to consider. I have only seen this once with Burris Sig rings and that was due to a broken clamping bolt but with other rings this is a common problem. Always remember it is easier to keep a light weight scope solidly in place then a heavy scope. Physicals is a bugger in this aspect. GOod Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
