[QUOTE="Clark, post: 820779, member: 6600"] A 308 is going to drop ~ 200 inches by 800 yards. That is ~ 20 moa correction with a 200 yard zero. I have never been able to get hunting accuracy with more than 8 moa correction...That's why I stalk to within 500 yards. I own ~ 100 pairs of scope rings, almost all of them Weaver type. I do not see any difference in performance in my application, all the way from the ultra heavy steel expensive sniper rings all the way down to the cheapest Aluminum Chinese import. They all hold a zero. I do see a difference in weight, size, and height. I like to get the scope objective bell as close to the barrel as possible. For 40mm objective lens, that means "LOW" rings. The compromise rings for me are Burris tactical rings. They are medium cost, medium weight, made in China out of Aluminum, and work well for me. Sometimes they sell single rings. Watch out for that $56 should buy a pair [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/burris-xtreme-tactical-1-two-rings.html]Burris Xtreme Tactical Picatinny Style Rail 1" Weapon Rings w/ Free S&H 420183 420182 420181 420180[/url] [/QUOTE]
