Re: one or two piece base
I use the base that I do, because:
1)Everybody on Snipers Hide uses a one piece, and I do so because I want to fit in.
2)On Hunting boards I frequent, I only show pictures of my rifles with two piece bases, and I do so because I want to fit in.
3)On rifles that I use that have a DBM system, some of which are darn near impossible to feed shells into unless they are removed, in which case, whether I use a one or two piece base is not relevant because I cannot top them off anyway, while on the rifle.
4) I use the base that best fits my application, my rifle, the scope I've chosen, and the complete packages intended use. Sometimes I use a one piece base (see item 3 above) and sometimes a two piece base.
Pick one, because only one is totally correct.
