Thinking about a set of these on a rifle, I was thinking a 2 piece set. I see lightwieghtts and reqular rings. Wieght doesn't really matter much to me just good mounts and rings that don't mess up.
Any comments? I have a real old set but its many decades old I'm afraid, and I haven't really seen any new ones.
Edit: I was figuring a low set for a 42mm scope max ( if even that big )

The lightweights are very light indeed. They are just like the ULA rings and the ones that came with the Colt Light rifle. I would use them for rifles short of the medium bore magnums. The quick release rings are superbly made and extremely durable. I would reccommend them for any heavy recoiling rifle, rifles with secondary iron sites, and rifles you have a spare scope for. They are more expensive but IMHO worth it. My only real complaint about them is that they are going to leave ringmarks on just about every scope you use, they are very difficult to install without a pinch. If you move scopes from rifle to rifle they might not be the choice but if you want a scope on a gun and leave it there they are about the best made rings out there...............DJ

Schromf, As inexpensive as the 2pc lightweights are I don't think you can go too far wrong. You probably want lows, they will fit most 50mm scopes with normal contour barrels...........DJ

I am to the point of using the lightweights on almost all my rifles. You have to be careful though as they really clamp down tight. I have a VXIII that had permanent marks from one.
