I’m just starting to dip my toes into the long range/PRS/NRL hunter world. All of my hunting rifles have either talley or dmz one-piece base/ring setups. I’m planning to get a scope with a 34mm tube and will need some new rings. All of the setups I’ve seen online run a pic rail and rings. I understand that a rail & rings give you you a little more fore & aft mounting options, but is there any other reason for using separate components?

Some actions ejection angle can hit the mount and stop the brass from ejecting. Weight, some actions with 2 peice or seperate bases can’t run them
Adding inclination to your scope, which helps maximize elevation adjustment after zeroing at 100 yards.
On a rifle that could approach 25 lbs or more? Really? He specified PRS.
Ok, I see he said NRL hunter too. Yeah, if you’re at the edge of the weight limit for your class, a heavy mount could be the couple of ounces that put you over the edge. I kind of like that you have to think about weight in NRL hunter.
So, OP, depending on the game you choose to play, weight could be a concern. Rings will almost always save you a few ounces over a one piece mount. This could be the difference between making weight and being an RO for the match…
A pair of Talley one-piece mounts weigh 3oz, the arc rings alone weigh 6oz (per their websites) not including a rail. So I’m guessing that everyone is saying that separate rings & rail are much heavier? I suppose that comp guns are heavy and that additional weight would be advantageous.
Sorry also misread the question. As some have said, weight in NRLH, or weight (want more) in PRS, adding MOA to your scope if you need/want more. Also depending on what type of scope you’re trying to mount rings will be easier or give more flexibility. I.e. S&B 5-25, ZEISS S5, etc. certain one piece mounts give you more accessory options if you need them like a Spuhr.
