another prob with centerfire scopes , is scope walking. if you have a rather large, centerfire scope, and you mount your rings onto a dovetail rail, instead of weaver mounts, or tap and drill holes, most mounts cannot hold the heavy scope in place, so it 'walk's on your dovetail rail.
So if you ever in the future mount to a dovetail rail, try to get steel rings, and try to get them so they have at least two screws across the base, where it clamps down on the rail. Bases with just one screw clamping down on the base, don't provide enough strength or friction, and usually eventually start to walk.
