Leupold QRW or Mark 4 rings?

[HotDiggity]

Hello, all, First post here! I've been sucked into the long range thing; resisted for a long time. I'm getting my first rifle set up and want to wring all I can out of it. I'm using a Leupold Mark 4 ER/T 6.5-20x (m5) with 30mm QRW rings. I also have a set of Mark 4 (steel) rings with the same height. Is anything to be gained (other than weight, of course) by swapping the QRW rings for the Mark 4 pair?

Thanks in advance!

In answer to your question, none. I have been using the QRW rings with great success since 2006. repeatable return to -0- is a must, and those rings deliver that.
I hope this helps,

Lloyd

Burris Signature rings, we have used these for 1K Matches for 20 years. Wont mar the scope tube, hold tight. I will not use anything else......

Thanks for the responses, gents. Longbow, I was limited my current decision based on what I have on hand.

It is worth the little $$$ to try them. One main reason you can help to zero the center of your XRing in your glass by using the shims. For 1K using a -10 on lower front Ring, a +10 on lower rear just canted your scope that much more without using the elevation. Then you can also cant the shim up the side to shift the scope left or right that little bit more "before" using your turret to compensate. After only using them for 20 years I can grab a buddies scope, drop in the "0" shims center X Hairs then bore sight and look thru scope to see what way we need to go or pop a shot then start your shimming. May take awhile but when your done you have a scope that is locked in the rings, centered more so than standard rings keeping that extra click or three where you may want it. Read the lower paste and keep an open mind.Pete (I sold the QRD's giving with a Nightforce purchase to buy another set of sig rings)
