Too late. LOL


"I have always disliked having to futz around so much getting the reticle straight with the Top Mount rings."

Yea they can be a pain until you've done enough of them. Still no where near as easy as std type. But the first thing I noticed when I started using the old Weavers years ago was that it didn't take very much tightening of those two screws before you couldn't move the scope. So John's statement that " I've been using 1" scopes up to perhaps 16 ounces with standard Weaver rings on rifles for several decades, and have yet to have a scope slip inside 'em. The rifles have included quite a few hard-kickers, from various .300 magnums to a relatively light .416 Remington." doesn't surprise me one bit.
