Got an older fullfield II 3x9x40 I’m going to put on it for the time being. The more Ive read about the vertical split rings the more they seem like a pain to switch scopes in them down the line. The rifle is a close to 8 pound 35 whelen as it sits with no scope now and it’s not too horrible recoil wise. It is a classic gun though and I don’t want to put tactical looking rings on it.
