[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 55302, member: 12"] Chilly Willy Short answer is absolutely no benefit, other than you might go to a tapered base to keep cross hair in optical center. Long answer is you do not need to spend $200 for quality set. Ken Farrel tapered base is only $41 from Brownells. FA Enterprises Tactical Rings are only $80 from Brownells. That is full retail costs also on both items. You can also go to Burris double dovetail bases for $24 and Burris Signature rings with insert kit for building in MOA up to 40 MOA. cost is $44 plus $9 for inset kit. Once again full retail costs from Brownells. They are as strong as anything on the market. Tactical bases and rings are mainly for taking off and on optics on a routine basis while strong and reliable and return to zero. Not exactly essential criteria for non combat hunting gun. Spend the money on reloading, barrel or scope upgrade first. BH [/QUOTE]
