Weaver Grand Slam Rings?

[sjalter]

Just wondering what you all think about Weaver Grand Slam rings? They are steel. Anybody use these?

 

[sjalter]

Thanks, that's what I need then I want something durable that doesen't break the bank.

Warne Maximas are steel and can be had for a very good price. Warnes will not mark your scope either. The vertical clamping makes leveling the scope ten times easier.

burris signature zee rings w/inserts dual dove tail

leupold standards

leupold prw

dont know how much u want to spend imo i say a scope is only as good as the rings and bases

i am not a fan of "weaver" name brand im sure they will work fine
but the weaver style rings and bases is a good way to mount a scope

leupold prw (permant ring weaver)
i really like
but for 30 bucks
u can not go wrong with warne

the Burris Rings with the inserts that mount on Weaver style and 1913 Pic rails are my favorite.

You cant pay me enough to put the "Leupold Standard" setup on ANYTHING I own! Those silly windage bolts on the rear base are a POS setup in IMHO. Youd be surprised how much trouble that folks have sighting in is actually caused by that rear base. I've seen calibers like 300wby, RUMs, Lazzeroni and heavy cals actually chew their way through the groove in that rear ring!!! Even the standard, basic Weaver setup has a much larger bearing surface and more clamping force (ring to base) than the rear ring/base on the standard Leup. style.

The Dual Dovetail and the QRW (which is Leupolds own Weaver style) ARE great stuff and I use QRWs on my mzlloadrs and have DDs on several of my rifles. I also have Warnes, Talley, DNZ and am about to order Conetrol for my latest project, but for the money the simple Weaver Grand Slam Series (which is all steel) is very good stuff! If you install it correctly with blue loctite on the first pass, you will likely have a lifetime setup.

Good luck.

i agree but for a 270 06 7/08 they are fine never had an issue with the rear mount.....

except when u put in on a real rifle

Yikes! That's ugly Deer Assasin. I have heard of that happening but never actually saw evidence. Makes me even more confident in my Warne stuff.

Wanna sell that tore up old Lupy scope?

 

[Deer Assassin]

i sold the scope about a year or two ago

I have the twin to the rifle in DA`s picture above,,only it had an 8.5-25 LRT when it slipped,,that mount design will not hold a big heavy scope on rifles with 50 ft/lbs of recoil,,it isn`t if it will break,,only when,
