Not arguing with you VaHillbilly, but I hear this ring argument a bunch, and I don't get it. I've had the optilocks on a Tikka 695 going on 13 years now. They've never blinked, moved, etc. They are tough, stay where you put 'em if you know what you're doing in the first place, and I love the inserts that are easy on scopes, alignment, etc. Then there's the old, what I call "original" Sako rings without bases that clamp right on. There's never been a tougher, more reliable setup than this. A 40mm scope, with these medium rings, mount real close to the barrel. What more could you ask for? Find both of these used/mint for under $100 all day long.
