    Finally got my Savage 10 PC set up

    Finally got my Savage 10 PC set up

    Re: Finally got my Savage 10 PC set up If they are holding zero and the correct height for you, not sure there is a good reason to change rings. But, if you are limited in range and want the 20MOA, then make the change.

    Rifle Scopes Scope for hunting and long range target shooting
