Default RE: Need help with Leupold mounts and rings

For my hunting rifles, I have gotten away from STD types (front dovetail, rear windage adjust). Anymore, I use dual dovetails for any new rifle I get. Nobody needs that much windage adjust on a hunting rifle.

Also, its easier to mount. I use a wheeler kit with alignment tools. And also lap the rings in 80%. With dual dovetail and one piece base, this is much easier process. But with windage adjust STD rings and bases, the alignment tools are pretty much a waste. Cause you can get the tips touching but its all relative to the placement of the windage ring. You can see this when you start lapping.

Now for target rifles, I want that scope to be aligned with max adjustment for windage, so I use the STD rings.
