sputsterTactical mount or not?
I have a Rem 700 in .308 Win with a Leupold 4.5x14 that I shoot for groups (handloads) and at tactical targets / plates. I have used both two-piece and one-piece Leupold bases with standard Leupold rings, which seem to function all right. I have been wondering about trying a tactical base and rings (like Warne/Leupold/EGW etc) - other than being rugged and making for repeatable mounting, do they offer an accuracy improvement over turn-in/screw-hold rings bases?
It's only shot at civilian ranges, so it's not like I'm air assaulting or bouncing around the back of a Bradley with it.

Andre MertensThey are indeed more reliable in preserving scope adjustments during manhandling. I've trusted Warne mount and rings for my tactical .308.

sputsterLOL, thanks for the succint replies. This will go into the "if it ain't broke" category.
And Andre, that's a very nice rig.
