[QUOTE="johnny k., post: 55597, member: 2322"] I have Leupold Dual Dovetail on all my Rem 700s. I like them for their sturdiness and good looks. I use 2 pieces of 1" stainless roundstock about 4" long to align the rings. I had the roundstock milled by a co-worker so I know they are precisely alignable. I have used the front dovetail/rear windage type rings and mounts before but have doubts about them. I once had a windage screw break off just below the head while shooting some 180gr loads (hot) in a .300 Win Mag. The Badger Ordnance rings are tough critters for sure and give most any rifle a superman interface between scope and rifle. I can't get over the price though. I have never used them so can't say either way about their performance. I recently purchase the Burris Dual Dovetail mounts with D/D rings and the hard plastic inserts. Initially they didn't allow for clearance between the barrel and scopes objective lens. I purchased the different size insert kit and used .030 in the rear and .010 in the front. Seems this would be ideal for a long range setup. I have them on an older Savage 110FP (LA) in .223 Rem. They are plenty sturdy and easily installed. The Burris and Leupolds are in the same ballpark price wise. Hope this helps. Johnny K. [/QUOTE]
