Yes, and the funny thing is that H&H, unlike Purdey, understood that the forces of recoil throw the scope forward before they throw it backwards and designed their rings accordingly. Yet when they went to adapt these Purdey rings they perpetuated Purdey's error by having the 'hooks' facing rearwards. Odd.
