Besides "holding power" also realize that more rings also help minimize scope flexing under heavy recoil. I once posted a link to a slo-mo film showing how much a scope tube vibrates and flexes during recoil. Which stresses the scope innards of course.

More or less if you can get 3 or four scope rings on the scope it is a very good idea to do it on the heavies. Besides additional and fail-safe holding power, this decreases odds of the scope failing.
