[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 2226731, member: 95733"] I'm just utterly amazed that when the scope moved in the mounts it left no tell tail marks. I've seen more than a few scopes shift in the rings and EVERY one left at least, be they extremely slight, some degree of making on the scope tube. But then again all of those rings were of the Warne, Vortex, Leupold, Ruger or similar price point rings and I'm 95% sure none were lapped. On my harshest recoiling rifles I use vintage pre-relocation to China MIUSA Burris signature "Z" rings with plastic inserts and never had a scope move in them. But I will also say NONE of those rifles are to be considered light weight. All have recoil at or above that of a 338wm, one a smokeless 10ML-II recoil is at or above that of a 375H&H pushing 290-325 grain bullets at a MV of 2350-2400fps. [/QUOTE]
