[QUOTE="Comancheria, post: 1650937, member: 110141"] Original poster here: I have read with interest (though perhaps not a complete comprehension!) all of the discussion. A couple of follow-ups: First, a question: does it matter that the 40mm Talley setup I have in hand is a one-piece base and lower rings—that mounts on a pic rail? Might that reduce the chance of being out of line? Second: I asked myself the same question another poster posed about why I should expect the alignment rods of the $85.00 Wheeler kit to be any more precise than the machines that honed out the inside of my one-piece Mount? Third, looking at the Wheeler kit online, I cannot ascertain whether the alignment rods would even work with 40mm tubes. Fourth: ARC mounts and rings seem to have a great following and approval for heavy-recoiling rifles with heavy scopes. However, some report having issues with the loose hinge pins coming out. But that APPEARS to go away after you torque down the screws. Not sure whether those of you who advocate lapping all Talleys would feel the same about ARC rings. Sounds like you would. Best regards, Russ [/QUOTE]
