I have had the EAW mounts, pricey as heck! But it was a real gem to have. Although scope swapping is very easy, but in Utah it may be hard to find and expensive.

I like Warne bases, and Burris Zee rings. But I have had just as good results with Weaver bases and mounts, and I mean the aluminum ones.

The old Redfield/Leupold standard bases are excellent also, but if you switch scopes a lot, it is not as practical IMHO. The windage screws are no fun to mess with if you swap scopes, and I change scopes like a woman changes shoes. But if you are a one scope man, for a specific rifle, the standard ring and base are a winner.

The only mounting system I really didn't like was the Millett rings and bases. To me the rings weren't machined very well, and the Weaver style bases were hollowed out and not solid. Although many hunters love the Angle-Lock rings, but to me they say "Bend me please" to a scope tube.

The Aimpoint don't impress me much either, but that is just me.

But Dom has the best advice ..................A lot of it is personal preference and how much you want to spend on the mounts.
