[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 812011, member: 34084"] S&K rings will solve the boresight misalignment problem and are very elegant in appearance. The Skulptured bases are windage adjustable front and rear. However, S&K rings are very slender and I would be concerned about their durability on a 338 WIn Mag rifle. They cannot be lapped and can scratch your scope tube if you're not experienced with installing the rings. Plus, they take a while to install correctly. If you think you might move that scope between rifles in the future, you may regret that choice of mount. I recommend you consider Burris Signature rings with the the offset insert kit. They are easy to install and require no lapping. They do not look nearly as nice as S&K rings, however. With either approach, the rifle may or may not have a point of aim drift with increasing range. To eliminate this problem, use the RingTrue reticle alignment tool (available from HighPowerOptics) and possibly an anti-cant indicator (for long range shots). What type of mount are you currently using? [/QUOTE]
