[QUOTE="David_h, post: 2971499, member: 123918"] Just my opinions… My observation is that separate bases and rings like in your pic are a legacy from when scopes were first being introduced. Many receivers were drilled and tapped not 100% in-line with bore and separate base/rings allowed proper alignment. For modern rifles I prefer one piece rings which attach directly to the receiver. A pic rail will give you more front-rear adjustment options; and for some, the tactical look too. Some examples of rigs that may need more front-rear adjustment include: magnum receiver with smallish scope; and, short receiver with biggish scope. [/QUOTE]
