[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1295157, member: 5219"] You asked "for a hunting rig". While I have several rifles with the picatinny rail and ring setups I also have plain rings and bases on many hunting rigs (talley one pc alum/ Leupold DDs etc). I read the entire thread and no one mentioned some variables to consider. IMO the cheek weld/ stock design/eye relief decides which mounting system to use. With a large front objective on the scope, setting it on a picatinny rail could place it too high to have a natural cheek weld without an add on tactical type stock pack or adjustable cheek piece on the stock. On the other hand the rail system allows for variable front to rear placement for proper eye relief, something that fixed bases and rings often limit. Just thought I'd mention these factors as no one else has..... [/QUOTE]
