weaver or millet rings and mounts
 

Are the weaver and millet rings and bases good quality?

RE: weaver or millet rings and mounts
 

I prefer leupold to both but prefer the millet over weaver.I like my mounts to be all steel and weavers are part aluminum.They also twist when the ring screws are tightened(screws on one side only) making it difficult to align the crosshairs straight up and down.

I prefer Leupold dual dovetail rings and bases whenever possible. But when I need a "Weaver Type"-scope ring I'd pick Millet over Weaver anytime; better quality and design in my opinion.

For the most part I have always used Redfield. I did put some Millett base and rings on one rifle and I would say are equal to Redfield.I would stay way from Weaver rings.Redfield and Millett are all steel construction.So are Leupold.Ruger Redhawk

Weaver rings have, over the years and in MANY applications, proven to be quite strong enough. However, they are ugly, and as Stubblejumper noted, the scopes rotate as you tighten the ring screws, making it a real pain to TRY TO keep the reticle properly levelled. This is the main reason I quit using the Weavers eons ago. Have had real good results with the Millets, particularly when mounting scopes on the 3/8" dovetail of the.22-type "tipoff" bases, which I use with great satifaction on octagon barrel sidelock muzzleloaders!!
