All I have is luepold ,redfield, windage type rings and bases. nothing will work less I get some dove tail extension front ring for my 2x7 luepy scope

I know they're not very fashionable but regular weaver rings work as well as anything.

Weaver rings and mounts are all I ever used. Up to my 450 Ackely


My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Pick up some Weaver Quad Locks at Walmart if highs are ok. They cost $9 and are excellent. So are the regular Weaver rings.

I have noticed that they are making these in a QR now also. I have used the old style and liked them real well. I have switched to Warnes for no paticular reason other than I like the way they look and you can still use a weaver style base.


As a general rule, people are nuts!

FWIW-
I'm just completing a lightweight mountain rifle--I was surprised to find that the standard alum. weaver bases and standard "old school" rings ("tip off", they have screws on one side that holds down a band that goes over the top) was the lightest setup of any that I tried (Leupold and redfield windage adj, double dovetails, even the weaver bases with Burris zees...)

In addition, the standard low Weavers set much lower than the Burris Zee lows.

Light, no protrusions, low mounting and cheap. I guess I was just beein' snooty not using them more before.
