[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 44099, member: 25"] [b]Re: Leupold QRW\'s Broke, but....[/b] Brent very clearly illustrated a problem with that scope ring design and he hit it on the head, there has been some lugs breaking. I understand that the current production has a much larger and stronger recoil lug. The current production lugs go full width, much better and definitely should not break like the one in the images. Significantly harder steel in the lug also. This is an example of a manufacturer improving his product when it need some improvement. Most of the older rings will not have a problem because of the reduced recoil forces from smaller calibers and lighter scopes. Unfortunately the new, bigger lugs will not fit into the older scopes since the slot is too small for them. I have used these rings for some time, and continue to do so with confidence, just nice to know that they are even better now. These are still very good rings for the money. [/QUOTE]
