I just picked up a Model 11 trophy hunter in .308. I'm considering upgrading the bases to a single unit and even putting some money into better rings. I've heard that the single piece base reinforces the receiver a bit. Truth? Or does it even matter?

Does anyone have problems with the included two piece bases or rings. They quality seems okay, but I haven't had a chance to sight it in yet.

I really don't want to waste time sighting in if I'll end up swapping out soon. I guess I'm just looking for input on if the included bases and rings are good enough to use long term with the included Nikon.

Thoughts?
