[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1640568, member: 10291"] I like the Nightforce steel base/rings. IM0, the weak link in the ring/base system is the attachment method of the base to the receiver of the rifle. For maximum strength, one piece, steel bases with oversized base screws or pinned bases offer the greatest strength, for heavy recoiling rifles I like the “lip” on the NF base on the front of the base mount that grabs the forward edge of the receiver. Most of the failures I have seen over the years were severe strikes to the forward scope bell scope, that resulted in the standard sized base screws with two piece mounts being pulled or stretched from the receiver.
