Last week I was at cabelas... and sae a customized rifle with the OLD style waever rings.
 
Not like the new ones today.. the old ones have a better fit oppisite of the two screws go.
 
AND there's a plate that goes against it with additional screws to reinforce them.
 
I looked closely at where the ring "hooks" together with the base, nice tight fit, unlike the
newer ones they sell today.
That deer will not make it out of my cross hairs.

I thought the old and the new were exactly the same. The ones I have from over twenty years look it. They work just fine from .22 L.R. up to .375 H&H. They may be ugly but they work almost as well as the Talley steel mounts I have replaced many with. That includes removing and remounting on a .375.
You might be looking at some of the newer alternative models.

No, this was an old one. I can see where a company eases and speeds production with a cheaper methods.

 I haven't noticed any difference as of a about a year ago. The last new ones I mounted seemed identical to those made in the Sixties. I hope they haven't slid downhill more recently.

I looked real closely at the connections definately different. I was just impressed. When I look at mine, it seems where the ring," hooks", you can see as you tighten the ring down it moves away from the base.
