[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 990215, member: 307"] Good point, forgot about that. I actually have both. My .300WM is the older Savage w/flat rear. I have Burris Dual Dovetails on it. No MOA built in to either the mounts or rings and I have dialed it to 1000yds and back with no problems using a $300 Nikon BuckMaster (cheap, by some standards). I have considered upgrading the rings/mounts and scope to something different. I haven't bought in to the picatinny mounting system (as you could probably tell) yet, but have looked at the EGW bases a couple of times. I have a newer Savage w/round rear (Accu-Trigger) in 6.5-284 Norma that has the Leupold LR STD base w/Burris Signature STD rings. It is stamped Model 12 on the barrel but it is actually a long action. I'm not saying the gun shop put old rings on the rifle. The rings you have were popular back in the day, you can still buy them new, but they're not marketed like the Mil-spec's are. Either way you go you should be OK. Most rings/mounts don't have a high failure rate, if they do they don't stay on the market long. JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
