OK, for specifics -- I have a Rem. 700 P .308 Win. Leupold Mark 4, 6.5
- 20x 50mm w/ two piece Mark 4 base and rings. I assume a one piece
base would be preferred, but evidently they're hard to find.
But then again, Leupold is like just down the road a few miles, and I have a contact in customer service. I'm betting I could get a Mark 4, 1 piece base, short action, Rem. 700. Besides the obvious, that it's "one piece" rather than two pieces, how about we address the distinctions? |

Why are one piece rails hard to come by? SWFA probably sells them everyday of the week.
Especially for a short action Remington 700.
Here's just a few.
Some like 2 pieces bases for better access to the loading/ejection port.
Some prefer a one piece rail for more rigidity and more options for scope positioning.
I prefer the latter, but if the 2 piece you now have is working for you, why change?

If at first you don't secede...try..try again.

if you do change might want to consider Leos new 8/40 and 6/48-8/40 shoulder screw bases which offer something like a 40% increase in screw strength. If your still using 6/48 a better upgrade would have retapped to 8/40s then worry about the 2 vs 1 base stuff. |
