[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 1010686, member: 2011"] I'm fighting this problem at the moment. I switched from the rear mount windage mounts as heavy recoil in shorter time than one would think the ring base gives out at the little wedgie thing that seats into the screw. In my braked 338 Rum it simply sheared off. On my 270 AM It wore so that the screw came up against the base allowing the ring to kind of float. Groups went to hell in a hand basket all at once with both rifles. Switch to double dovetail Burris Zee rings with the 10 MOA inserts on both rifles. The Rum zeroed fine. The AM built on a old Rem 721 lacked about 4" windage @ 100 to zero. I simply rotated the rear inserts 90 degrees in the proper direction after a couple of brain-farts, and she works just fine. However a full 8th of an inch is a considerable amount. May be a big problem.... [/QUOTE]
