    Put it like this;

    £1000 rifle, £250 scope, why the quibble over an extra £30 for quality mounts

    Not that there's anything wrong with match mounts

    That's probably how mount manufacturers think (and want us to think) when setting their prices.

    I have had lots of problems with Hawke mounts and similarly with Nikko so I cannot recommend them, for only slightly more money I don't think you can beat Sportsmatch.

    I've got Hawke mounts on my main springers. Never had any trouble with them myself

    Well you nailed it, i know people who spend ten grand on a motorbike and 25 quid on a helmet that wont save their life, not the same but yep its a false economy to not buy good mounts after spending £350 on a scope, so bkl it is again, god knows how many pairs i've bought in the past, thanks for pointing it out.
