RockFish.. good advise. I have been having very good luck with Tradition Firearms Co. quick release rings and they are a fraction of the cost of Warne or some of the other brands. I got a set of them when I bought the bases for the Genesis, and liked them so much I have put them on a couple other rifles. They are $16.00 a pair. Warne can run me $46.00 a pair. That Diamond's breech blow backwill eat the bottom of your scope off.



Underclocked was kind enough to tell me about making a bikini scope cover out of simple duct tape. I use the plastic back duct tape and that fouling at the end of the day will all most completly wipe off, although there is a little burn. But I can make new in a moment or two. And the scope stays nice and clean and the paint does not get burnt off...

With QR rings it makes it easier to clean the rifle of course.
