Nightforce rings, 4 vs 6 screws

[rkramer]

I am looking at nightforce ultralite rings for an atacr and I am just curious if there any major advantages or disadvantages of 4 vs 6 screws. Thanks

4 work just fine

I think it would depend on the caliber. My 6.5 Creedmoor and .30-06 have the 4-screw rings and they are rock solid on Nightforce bases. Perhaps the 6-screw rings are for big bore magnums (.338 and up)?

6 screw rings are cheap insurance on really big lightweight magnums with really heavy scopes, 4 screw rings are great for 97.4% of rifle/optic combinations. I had an ultralight 300 Norma with an ATACR that slipped in 4 screw rings, 6 screw rings took care of the issue.
