As the post implies I’m trying to decide whether a picatinny base (20 moa) and separate rings would be considered a better solution by most as opposed to integrated Talley rings. The application would be mostly hunting but I’d like to venture into long range as well, so I’m not sure the scope I have will be my forever mounted scope.
The rifle is a 300wm Hells Canyon with the x-bolt mounting system and my only worry about using the integrated rings is if there ever were to be a few mountings/dismountings of the scope that I’d be tightening and loosening the threads in the receiver. I ran across a post where someone stripped out the threads in the receiver, though I’m not sure if short screws were used that didn’t engaged enough threads for the proper torque or what. So the thought is that if I went with a rail and rings that the rail would be mostly permanent and any scope changes would on effect the rails; however this clearly adds a little weight to the rifle.
Let me know thoughts.
