steel bases

[6x6 elk]

Does any company make steel bases for the Handi-rifle? My 500 S&W is really hard on the aluminium bases.

Not that I'm aware of, all bases are listed in the FAQs, you might look at better rings, I don't have a problem with the Leupold PRWs on my 500.

found this at midway is this what you mean

The built in 20moa base would be great for long range shooting, but would use up a lot of adustment for normal .500 Handi hunting, might work ok if the contour matches the 1.1XX" barrel. Good rings would cost a whole lot less at about $40 installed, no gunsmith required.

Thanks for the information. I'm using the Burris Zee rings at this time ,being steel they seem real solid.

I've not had a problems with the Signature Zees, but the Leupold rings are much better, the cross bolt on the Burris rings is only a #6, but the lug on the PRW/QRW is a very substantial piece of steel, not a small screw, it pretty much fills the cross slot, it's square, not round.

Warne makes two steel bases for H&Rs, the Maxima Tactical M681M(pictured) and the standard Weaver style M981M(pic coming). The Tactical comes with t-15 torx head screws.
