Here are the pictures of LOC's rings:
These look like Millett rings of the "standard" type. Not my favourite, since I have switched all of my guns to either weaver/picatinny setup or to grooved rings (on my Tikka). ILya |

So before I mount my SII should I change out these bases and rings? Are these rings and bases outdated or old technology? Looking for some pros and cons. Sorry for all the questions just trying to learn and make the correct decision in todays "many choice" markets. Thanks in Advance Tony |

I suppose if properly mounted most rings work fine. I have not had very good luck with this system, so I switched away from it. just a preference.
Nowadays, I tend to use rings made by Warne for weaver type bases on most rifles. ILya |

I go along with Ilya on this one I have picatinny rails on almost all my rifles and two of the pistols, it makes it very easy to switch scopes around.

Guys, If you look closely at top picture of the rear base(first picture) the base only touches in the middle where the mounting screw are. The sides do not touch the receiver/action of the gun. Is this normal? Would seem to me that the shape of the base should fit exactly the shape of the reciever? Please advise. |

I can't quite tell from the pictures.
Generally, the shape of the base should match the shape of the receiver. In practice it never quite mates perfectly, which is why people often bed the bases to the receiver. ILya |

I have the pentax gameseeker and the ffII and the game seeker is by far the best scope alot clearer and the precison plex is much better on the gameseeker, and you can use the precision plex to judge yardage on the gameseeker |

If the bases aren't fitting excatly then there is a slight problem. This can be fixed as Ilya has suggested, by doing a bedding job on the base. You will then also need to have the rings lapped as well. There is also the possibility that the base wasn't properly machined and is defective. Look at the price difference between the work and the cost of new.

The Sightron S2 is the best choice at $200.00,lifetime replacement warranty.If you have extra cash to spend buy the S2 Big Sky would rate it at as the best scope under $500.00.

I live in NJ., Ihave several scopes, but I bought a Barska 3x12x56 euro pro IR. I put on my 30-06 to go Texas hog hunting. there where 4 of us 2 Swarovskis 1 Nikon and my 100.00 scope. I am the only one that did not have to change a thing. I put it on my muzzle loader my last kill of many with, it was a 120lb. doe walking dead away from at 40 yards I put it the center of the shoulder blades in very thick cover, that's exactly where it hit. I have faith in this scope. 114.00 to your door. check it out. Bud

( Well, since we are off topic with the eyeballs, I might want to make an off-topic remark......I noticed that your receiver was stamped 1900......is that a Mauser-built 1896?? Mauser only built a few of them and ONLY in 1900!! Ha! I would KEEP that rifle!! Ha! Yeah, get an after market trigger..........and a 3200 Bushnell is a good scope, by the way....)

Ed, I do not know much about this rifle. It is sporterized by kimber and is a .308. It shoot pretty good. It is my all around rifle and has a RAM stock on it. I have decided on a SII Sightron Scope that I have just recieved in the mail Now i' dont know if I should mount this up as is or change the based and rings. The rifle in the past had a bushnell banner and was fine. But the more and more you read on the net the more and more you learn and now i'm questioning the rings and bases and worried about lapping rings, alignment of rings etc....when in the past all was fine just wanted to update scope.....
