Rifle Scopes Scope Mounting

[majohnson2]

I picked up a Nightforce NXS to put on another rifle and I have been thinking about using a one piece mount. Currently on my R700 I'm using a Nightforce 20moa base, along with a set of TPS rings. I removed the scope to install level and the scope showed no marks on the body.

Now the question. Are you less likely to end up with ring marks by using a one piece mount?

NO, the quality of the mount and proper mounting can help prevent that. TPS rings have always been great for me and never seem to leave marks. Just follow the torquing directions and they always seem to perform and protect that expensive glass.

If the TPS rings have worked for you, why change? I have a set and am well pleased with them.

Dont worry about it. I have had 5 sets of TPS rings with no problems at all. I would use them and upgrade later if you need to.

Re: Scope Mounting

You see some of the scopes people are selling and the rings have just trashed the scopes finish. I realize it doesn't effect the scopes function, it does affect the resale value.
