The Jap MkV's are as good as the German or US from what I've read.

DF Extreme high quality actually. Some think they're the best of the three countries of mfg. I've never compared them, mine is USA. DF

Conetrol is back in business as well.
Yeah, I heard that.......part of old George's family I think. George was a fine fellow; used to see him at a lot of the shows........he would bring me a bunch of mounts, hand them to me & tell me he'd send an invoice when he got back to the shop. Their mounts are great, just takes a little learning & a few tricks to make it easier & quicker to get them mounted. MM

I remember talking to him, nice guy and very helpful.
IIRC, his wife worked in the office, answered the phone.

I'd rather have a Buehler mount than a Redfield/Leupold turn-in style.
Is your mount the standard style with the two windage screws on the back or is it a micro-dial style that has both windage and elevation built into the rear?
Micro-dials are a little tricky the first time you use them, but the standard style bases aren't any more difficult to install or use than any other common mount. It is the standard style. This is all very encouraging news. Both sets of rings I acquired have the shims still in them if I'm not mistaken. I'd have to look. I think I'll stick with the Buehler since it sounds like correct setup is the key. I just with I didn't have to modify my bolt handle even with the code 8 high rings.

Go back to Shotgunner's post. He is dead on. One thing you can consider for the best stability is to bed the bases on the receiver. If done the right way, in the right order, so to speak, you will end up with the scope, rings, and mounts perfectly aligned with no stress at any connection. The bedding "shim" remains permanently connected to the bases not the receiver. I always do this with military mausers that have had the ears ground down or otherwise have slightly irregular ring surfaces/aligment.
AKA The P-Man  If you cherish your memories with kids, be a good role model . . . . so the RIGHT memories of you mean something to them.
