Which rings/bases
« on: January 26, 2009, 05:47:56 PM »
I mounted my Zeiss on my RUM with Leupold Dual Dovetails, but I have recently seen a lot of talk about other rings/bases. I mainly just want to be sure I'm set up right the first time. Will the Leupold rings/bases be ok, or should I look into a more stout option?

2 of my friends say the weaver style rail is best for the RUM. The standard style's just dont hold up. These guys shoot RUM's religiously. And one is a custom rifle builder out of MT. Take it for what its worth though. :dunno:

Be interesting to see what the others say.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me to.

For many years the Leupold Dual Dovetail were the standard for heavy recoil rifles.  All I've ever used were Leupold rings and bases.  And loctite the screws. You should be fine.

Not sure of the difference between the dovetail and whatever else leupold mounts there are. But as for what i know leupold mounts are very reliable.
