completely off topic...Scope Rings
I was looking the other day for some Quick Release Rings for the new scope I wanted to put on my new Savage, and I ran across these in the Sportsmansguide catalog and thought I might try these as they are listed as all steel. I really did not want to spend the money on a set of Warnes for a 22 target/varmint rifle.
They arrived today and are definitely all steel and actually feel and seem to work well. The handles like on the Warne can be pulled and set where ever you might like.
Mounted the scope in the rings and dropped it on my Savage... I like them.. and I like the price - I ordered two sets - one set for a spare - you just never know...
I certainly would see no problem in using these on a ML...

They look like the ones I purchase from Traditions Arms. Sometimes they come on sale and I pick up three sets at about $15.00 a set. So far, I have them on numerous muzzleloading rifles and have had no problem with them. Also I take them off for cleaning the rifles and they return to POA real well.

sabot, I had that type of rings on my .45 Knight for at less 8 or 9 years, never had a problem. I just took them off Thursday and put them on my .45 Apex along with the 2x7x36 Nikon. I just couldn't see putting a the new 4x12x40 Vortex on the Apex yet, Sorry MD.

How do you like that Tasco Varmit scope? What power is it? I've considered one for a .22 that I want a cheap high powered optic for, but I just can't decide on if I want a Tasco or not. I read a lot of mixed reviews on the ones that are made in China.

It is the Varmint 2.5x10x42 with a MilDot VAR2510x42mm.
Another brand of inexpensive scope that I would consider are the Simmons...
I will shoot this Wednesday evening at an indoor range with bad back lighting... will no more after that...
