[QUOTE="antelopedundee, post: 1714461, member: 107384"] The one piece bases are great if they are of the picatinny type or can accommodate Weaver style rings. The Redfield and Leupold are ok too as long as you don't need to use the windage screws to do any adjustments as you're more likely to bend the scope tube than turn the ring in the dovetail. I use a bit of lube on the dovetail surface before turning it in. If the dovetail is loose like it could be on used rings and bases, it's been said that one can fix that by squeezing the 2 flat surfaces in a vise. Never worked for me. [/QUOTE]
