Default Scope mounts ?

Is the one piece or two piece scope mount better on a Browning A Bolt .270 rifle?

The 1 piece is stronger and allows less action flex.
The 2 piece allows easyer access to load and ejection .
Both work
Pick the 1 you like

I like the 2 piece myself. Cleaning is much easier, and I find them to be as strong and durable as they need to be. My A-bolt has Leupold 2 piece mounts, and I have never had to re-sight the scope. Everytime I check it, it is still dead on.

I like the 2 piece DD mounts by Leupold and agree with North Texan no POI shifts between seasons.

You can buy them where ever scopes are sold. cabelas, bass pro, any local shops. no wally world. wouldnt trust that stuff. I have a one piece on my Remington 700 and it doesnt bother me the least bit. however, my cousin has a two piece Leupold mount on his Abolt and his scope doesnt move at all. its a personal choice. whatever suits you. leupold probably makes the best mounts by far, rock solid whether its 1 or 2 piece.

Like deerslayer said most sporting good stores carry Leupold and other mounting systems.

BTW, the DD I mentioned are the Double Dovetail design, offer a bit more insurance than the standard Leupold mounts but both are very reliable IME.
