I don't know how there could be a stronger and more secure mount than the original Weaver base and original "wrapover" ring. They are not the prettiest but for lightweight and secure they are as good as it gets. Also they have a good return to zero if one just alternates tightening the mounting screws.

I recall reading a test of various base/ring combos years ago, perhaps in an early edition of Rifle, the test was conducted using a heavy recoiling rifle and in the end the Weaver combo came out on top.

I can recall having a couple of scope slippage issues but never while using the Weavers.

223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers.
