[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 1868337, member: 10"] they dont, did you read the article? They have exactly the amount they need. My painkiller muzzle brakes have a nasty habit of working scopes and bases loose. The heavier the scope, the more likely the rings will eventually slip on the rail. at first a single set of rings will shoot very well. Then over time what you will see is vertical stringing down range. At times will not be much more then an moa or so but it will be there. Many times its mistaken as velocity spreads. At times its more dramatic and obvious. pull the scope to make sure everything is tight, remount, rifle will shoot perfect for a while then it comes back. One set of rings is not enough, as discribed above, two rings are positioned forward in the rail slots to support and control recoil energy. the other two rings are positioned to the rear of the ring slot to control the extreme negative g-forces generated by the muzzle brake. it is not guaranteed that with my 7mm Allen Magnum will cause slipping. Some will, some wont, depends mainly on the weight and height of scope. On my larger caliber wildcats, this WILL be a problem. again, the heavier the scope, the more critical this is, also the higher the scope is mounted the more of an issue it is. While these two rifles are not coated, a cerakote or other coated rifle almost requires this with my muzzle brakes as the coating reduced the frictional coefficent between the rings and base. pretty cheap insurance to make sure your scope stays lock solid and never moves EVER..... Because if it can move, it will move at the very worst time possible. [/QUOTE]
