Thought I would try to throw a new discussion out there to lighten things up but be completely serious. I wish the gun manufacturers would stop using single slotted screws in there process. Oh, and scope ring manufacturers would follow that up and use different screw heads also. I don't care how careful and how you use the right screwdriver on those screws, sooner or later you are going to slip and ......ugly screw in pretty rifle. The screws in scope rights are so small and the heads so soft that its not if but when it will happen. I have noticed the scope rings companies are beginning to switch and their allen head screws are a welcome sight but not the only option out there.
