    Re: Best scope ring mount for 338 lapua Go Badger! 338 LM means long range. Get a 20 or 30 moa one piece base and match with the USMC M40A3 or Max 50 rings and you'll be happy. American Defense makes a great mount but on a bolt gun it will be too high.

    Re: A.R.M.S. #22 rings. Anyone else had this problem? I really don't think I'll have any issues with the replacement. The fracture looks to be a metallurigical issue. I just wondered if this was common.
