[QUOTE="6.5Swede, post: 1211643, member: 85118"] Hello everyone, I have a question, and I hope I have chosen the proper forum for some help. I am building myself a new long range rifle this summer. I am currently waiting for my reamer. I have been studying my options for scope bases and rings. I have noticed and read a lot of good ideas and opinions concerning 6x48 vs. 8x40 screws. But, after searching I can't seem to find any tests or numbers saying how much more shear strength and clamp down force and 8x40 screw will add over a 6x48. Can anyone here help me? I'm very curious how much strength the larger screws will actually add to the mounting system. Thanks for your help, Steve [/QUOTE]
