| I am looking at replacing my older Leupold standard ring set to a EGW 0 MOA pictany rail and a set of medium Warne QD ring (on sale). They will be going on a 223 R700 XCR LRT with a Leupold vx3i Scope 3.5x10. More replies/suggestions the better... |

Why replace? If everything is aligned it working as intended. I would skip the warne rings and go with something better. Nightforce, Seekins, Badger, take your pick. Definitely use a 20MOA angled picatinny base. If you don't, you'll run out of scope before the rifle runs out of distance. FYI - There's never a reason NOT to use a 20MOA base/mount. |

it has a 2 piece standard leupold mount, I really just don't trust the windage screws or the fact that its a 2 piece mount is all.... Ive thought about side stepping to a 1 piece base but the screws kind of make me squeamish lol.... |

would a 223 benefit from a 20 MOA base? I didn't think Id be able to push much passed 600 On any modern rifle, you ALWAYS use a 20moa base unless there is some very specific (and extremely rare) reason not to. |

Leupold windage screws / interference fit mount thing is either complete shit or I have never gotten the concept of it. Quoted:

It's be around for years and works very well in most application. Real handy when a guns mounting screw holes are out of alignment. Here the company's take. https://www.leupold.com/resources/about-leupold-mounting-systems/ |
