    I’ve always used standard rings (Vortex/Seekins/ARC), but I’ve been eyeing the new MBrace 1 piece from ARC.

    Are they that much better then the standard 2 ring setups?
     
    They all do the same job as long as you’re using quality components. I’ve been using arc rings/mounts exclusively for a few years now, I use rings on rifles where weight matters and 1 piece mounts on rifles where it doesn’t but rings would perform the same.

    The biggest argument for 1 piece mounts I see is they keep things straight (theoretically) even if the base on the action isn’t but that goes back to using quality components. The 1 piece bases are also nice if you need additional can’t.
