[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 2220279, member: 33822"] Here's the weight of my rifle now with the NX8. I joke that it is still a SUB 10-lb rifle. Note the 6-fastener Nightforce rings. 20 MOA rail is pinned to the action. I've personally never had a scope slip in the rings on this rifle, but I thought the heavier scope justified the extra clamping force from the larger rings. I should also note that I "liquid pinned" the rings to the rail... in other words, after coating the interfacing surfaces of the rings/rail with oil, I installed the rings with epoxy to fill the small gaps in the interface so it cannot shift from recoil.
