First post here guys. I just purchased my first long range rifle; and am new to long range shooting in general. The gun I bought is a Remington 700 5R Milspec. So I'm on the search for the best rings and bases and whatnot. My question is; what is the downside to products that are a mount, base and rings all in one? Meaning; they are all one solid CNC milled piece? Here is a link to one made by nightforce.

I see people arguing about which mount, base or rings to buy. Either way....it is three different pieces that will never match up perfectly. So, why arent these one piece "all-in-ones" more popular? Are there downsides i'm not taking into consideration? If anyone has any experience with one of these; input would be great!
Thanks!
Eric
