Can't tell you if a single-piece will increase rigidity, but I can tell you that the forward edge of the slots in my factory bases on the .30-06 rounded over after about 2-3 years of recoil. It probably only has 300 rounds through it, which isn't much at all, so I say it's worth upgrading to better bases. I upgraded to Leupold Dual Dovetails.
