Single vs. double scope bases?
 

Is one more inherently accurate or durablethan the other?

Outfitting a new gun next week and have guns with both styles, just need to know which if either is the more preferred for long range bolt action guns.

I know this subject has probably been covered before, but I haven't been able to get the search feature to work in a long while.

Thanks for the help.

I use a single piece mount. What Rifle are you setting up?

Burris it is, I need to place the order.
I'm using the Burris Signiture scope, might as well use the Burris Signiture rings to go with it!

I got the scope in a few days ago and it looks like it will do the trick.

I plan on picking the gun up from my dealer tomorrow.
No hurry on the final assembly I'll be hunting with other weaponsnext week :).

A one piece base is held on with three screws where as a two piece base is held in place with four screws. A one piece base gets in the way when loading a bolt action rifle. Two piece bases look much cleaner on the gun than a one piece IMHO.

Weaver/ picitannystyle rings and bases, such as Warne, Leupold Mark4, Badger ord., Night Force, etc...are much much much stronger than Leupold, Redfield, Burristurn in style rings and bases.

IMHO if you want to use Burris rings and bases then use the XTB bases and ZEE rings. But IMHO Warne two piece bases and Warne Maxima rings are what I would use.

Not on any of the rifles i've ever owned ,they both use 4 holes. i like the single one piece better because you can move you scope forward or backward easier.

Then you have never used a one piece Leupold Base on a bolt gun. Leupold bases use 3 screws on thier bolt guns and 4 screws forsome of theauto rifles.

Well I placed the order on 1-1-08 and forgot to check back in here before doing so to see if the opinion had shifted. (oops)

I ended up ordering the Burris 1 piece base w/ medium signature rings & the .010” offset just incase I need the extra height with the 44mm objective.

We’ll see how it goes, ifn it doesn’t work out I’ll look at the other options mentioned here.

Thanks fellas!

I take it you've done this before;).
Just to make sure I read the Burris web site correctly - I'd need to put the -10 on the lower portion of the front ring with the +10 on the upper portion of the front ring to keep the hole the correct size?

+10 on the bottom of the rear & -10 on the top of the rear?

Should I do that from the get-go or afterI see what standardinserts get me?

RE: Single vs. double scope bases?
 

I figured my question would get messed up in the translation. I guess I'll have to see what I get for it to make sense.
I was under the impression you had to compliment the upper half of the ring with the opposite size you placed in the lower half so the hole itself would remain 1".

For the great news I come home & check my e-mail from "opticsplanet.com" and they are "temporarily out of stock, but will restock soon" they claim they will restock in 7-10 days.
Looks like a shady way to place my order through a seperate party and then send me what I want after they receive it from their supplier.-joy.

If I cancel the order is there anywhere you recommend getting them from?
Hmm, I need to call my hour drive away gander mountain, they might have them.

bigbulls,you are right i haven't used leupold one piece mounts and i never will. don't like leupold period.thats not the first stupid thing i've seen them build. put the best cope mount ever made on it and use all the screws.

get a weaver base.
