[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 674280, member: 39764"] I know a few gals with the 6 hole syndrome in the rump department...lol The 6 hole rings 'look macho' but do nothing except asthetically and have an extra set of screws and cost more over 4 hole flavor. Grip so far as resistance to recoil forces has more to do with contact area between the ring and the scope barrel, the concentricity of the ring (which is why lapping rings is accepted practice)(and not only improves grip but eliminates the dreaded ring mark which devalues the scope should you want to sell it....) and the grip of the ring base itself on the rail or receiver. One reason I like the one piece ring/base combination. More parts equals more chance for movement. Ocasionally, I see owners who utilize 4 ring sets instead of the usual 2, 2 in fromt and 2 in back. It looks neat but IMO, it's overkill, extra weight and added expense...for little if any gain. That might be of value if the rifle kicked (recoiled) so hard that it knocked you on your butt everytime you touched it off but that don't sound like fun at all. [/QUOTE]
