[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1400704, member: 7123"] Wise words, those, too. In my understanding, quite a few ol boys take african plains game with .270, .280, and .30-06 as well, up to and including Eland. Well, if it makes you feel any better, provided they used Leupold "standard" style rings, then it wouldn't have mattered - nothing they carry there is anywhere near as good as the Leupold, and almost all of it is junk, junk, junk. Except standard Weaver brand Weaver-base rings, and those Leupolds. Rings is one of those things which now, with the demise of S.W., you *must* buy online, if you don't want junk, and if you're not going to use Leupold "standard" rings (dovetail front, adj. rear). Unless you're willing to drive to OKC and pay pretty big for Leupold PRW / QRWs. Other than the Leupold "standard" style (or double-dovetail), and the steel Weavers at BP, and the QRW / PRW Leupolds at H&H, in OKC area, you can NOT get good rings period, from Academy, BP, OAS, H&H, etc. Big time suckage - one of my huge pet peeves. The only possible exception are the aluminum Leupold "Rifleman" rings from Academy - but I'd only use them for a rimfire. I'd say they're only semi-junky. [/QUOTE]
