RE: Rock solid base/ring setup for A Bolt?
Ruger , if that is what you are comfortable with and never had problems with then fine. I was using Leupold rings and not Redfield rings. I have had only one instance of the rotary Leupold ring going loose and it happened on a very expensive hunt. Fortunately some one had a screwdriver in camp and we made up a makeshift shooting range and everything went fine . I figure the least amount of parts the more reliable(in most cases). Talleys and Conetrol rings are really great rings and are extremely rugged only second to the factory ruger rings for strength. BTW I took care of the treestand problem and bought 2 new treestands at my local Sports authority...one an ol' man Grand vision and the other a Buckshot Centershot...50 % off on them so I ended up with 2 for the price of 1 ...I don't know how to beat that. Of course I wont have TL's customer service which might be a negative.
