[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 2971960, member: 12282"] Interesting thread, not to steal, but just yesterday, I set about to put some Burris signature dovetail rings (good rings in my opinion, in terms of never marring a scope and accuracy) onto bases on a different gun (buddies gun that won't shoot, wanted to eliminate scope variable) with Leupold dovetail bases. Now, the internet says they are interchangeable. Burris likely having copied Leupold...... But they are not. The Burris rings in the Leupy bases are loose (up front). Rear is meaningless in that case, and I did not not bother..... Soo... My 2 cents. I will be going pic rails more and more. Has been the trend for me for years. But finding out that supposed "interchangeable" dovetail bases are not is the last straw. I DO agree that a classic set of dovetail rings from an appearance standpoint is best on a classic looking gun. But what shoots and what does NOT bugger up the gun or the scope is more important.
