Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Warne Rings and Weaver Bases?

Respectfully - aluminum bases have not been working great for 50 years with Warne rings. Warne says on their product page that the SS recoil control key prevents swagging or peening of softer (than steel) bases. That's not always the case; they need mounted properly as described on the package with the leading edge of the recoil key firmly against the front of the slot. The idea is the recoil key distributes the force across a larger area than solely clamping onto the sides, and it works. The Warne steel bases are a perfect match for the ring and they're shipped with quality screws. They're a superior product in all regards and worth checking out. OT
