Below is a couple of picture of rifles with Picatinney rails. The rail in no way impedes the shells. And notice how much farther apart the rings are. That makes the mount considerably stronger. And because both rings are monunted on the same rail it takes the "torque" out of the scope. Look at the true tactical rifles. They all wear Picatinney's. Tom.

The more I look at it the more I like the Picatinney rails I have went to on all my rifles. The rails are easier to install and put less torque on the scopes, while they are consideraly stronger.

The picatinny rails are definitely the way to go. The slots are wider than the Weaver bases so they use a larger diameter screw to clamp the rings to the base.

..........Hey Tom....Hate to tell you this, but the bolt is on the wrong side of the action.....

I dont like the way the front twists on and very hard to get square, the rear is held by a small pinch in between those to screws , not very good in my opinion. The rear has windage adjustment coupled with the front spinning around, these were the hardest rings and bases to install and get all squared up and trued down the barrell. I wont buy these ever again. I thinkg the picanny rail would add to the tactial look of this rifle, do you have enough room to load shells or does it hinder it some.

Z said he cant stand that setup he also said that after watching his gun rollover it shot perfectly fine,im the friend that praises that setup & just ask him what kind of groups this entire setup is holding at 200yrds. ur welcome z
