I put the permanent Warne rings on my daughter's .243 and it only had one ring with the lug. It goes on the front ring I believe. I've heard lots of bad things about the stock Tikka rings. I wasn't going to risk losing a deer just for saving a couple dollars using free rings. I love Warne rings, they're beefy. And another thing, as you tighten down the screws, the scope doesn't tilt from side to side. It stays firmly in place. Many competition shooters and even snipers use Warne.
