IMO the only solid mounting system for under $40 is the steel Weaver mounting system. The Waver system is every bit as strong as the more expensive mounts. You just give up adjustability. Spend a little more and use a Warne one piece base with Weaver rings. That will work the best for the best price. Tom.
How much we talking here on what I should spend?
I can spend a little more if need be.
