[QUOTE="dan25, post: 1279532, member: 47126"] I am just letting forum members know my experience with Leupold STD rings and bases. I have heard too many stories about scopes not holding there zero more than once with these mounts and bases. Just recently, my friend had some issues with his 22-250 shooting 3" to the left for no apparent reason. He sighted gun in and adjusted scope and was dialed back in. Went out that night and missed 2 coyotes at 50 and 80 yds. Called me up and asked me to help him figure out the problem. I looked at the gun and mount system. Top ring screws were tight. Upon looking at where the rear ring meets the base on the Leupold mount; both rear windage screws were barely tight. This was allowing the rear of his scope to move ever so slightly right and left. This is my second first hand experience with this problem, both on low recoil varmit calibers. I guess if the screws always stay tight and you constantly check them, they should work. I personally would never trust a mount like this and just letting everyone know who owns this setup to either change them or at least check those 2 rear windage screws to make sure there tight. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
