I’ve been reading about Sportsmatch and UM tikka rings, and I see the argument that clamping to the dovetail is stronger than being held on with four little screws. Makes sense to me.
I’m curious to see if any of you have stories of properly mounted pic rails or other bases coming loose or breaking off. Seems like a hit that busts off a picatinny rail would probably damage a scope. But I don’t know, that’s why I’d like to hear from real life experiences.
The only good reason I can think of not to use dovetail mounts is improved ring spacing or needing inclination. The ring spacing thing in particular seems like a decent argument for a rail.
