RE: Information on Weaver Bases and Rings
What's always been the "most important" thing to me is, STRENGTH! Weavers have it, and i've NEVER damaged a scope mounting them. If you don't feel you can do it properly, have a gun smith do it for you!!!
NO, there's no ajustment in them, but they NEVER go out of ajustment either!!! The truth is, if you know what you are doing, you can do some shimming if needed to get a "poorly drilled and tapped" rifle to come to zero.
I've seen some of the "Redfield type" fail, but NEVER a properly mounted Weaver split ring fail, even on high recoiling rifles!!
They don't look as "fancy" as some of the others, but for my $$ they "still" are best!!
