These photos show Leupold scope rings on two of my favorite Browning
A-Bolt hunting rifles. These rings are my number one choice for use on most sporter rifles. I like them better than any other brand, because to me - they
look great, and they're solid as a rock. However . . . . the picture on the left shows the "old style" Leupold scope rings. The arrow points to their
only weakness. I've seen this darned windage screw work lose or broken on more rifles than you would believe. Notice the rifle on the right. It
also has Leupold scope rings, but this set is the "new style" with a 2-piece base. They're now available without the problematic windage screw. When
this "new and improved" version became available, I wasted no time getting a few sets.
That windage screw was occasionally needed on rifles forty years ago, but with the quality of scopes and rifles today, a windage
screw on the scope base is rarely needed. If you have a set of the old Leupold scope rings that use this screw, do yourself a huge favor and replace them
with a new set that don't have this screw.
