High quality scope rings?

Conetrol. Hands down. View attachment 1138617

505 just said it all for hunting rigs, hate mounting them but once done it's forever! Night Force 20 degree rails and NF rings on all my comp rigs..

I have used the HRT series from these guys and liked them. https://www.tpsproducts.com/

I desire and use the Burris w inserts. So very adaptable to your hunting distance scenario and will NEVER mark your high dollar scope. Everything has a mfrg tolerance...I don't care to roll the dice when torquing them down.... with or without the 3' cheater -

Just a tip for any scope ring:
Line the insides of the ring w a pc of Scotch Magic tape, the frosted, not shiny type, razor off the excess. It gives that extra little bit of "gription". Ymm not vary w this much if any.

Great tip, TAJ!

Tape in rings? Not with any quality ring.

Man i put on a dozen or so vortex rings this year. Not heavy, use huge screws and dont mark scopes. Believe its the pro series. ($59 or so)

The extra screws are a nice touch along with the 22 size torx.

Recently I've had luck with the Warne Moutnain Tech rings as an alternative to the Nightforce ultralights. I got some 34mm lows for $75 shipped. Relatively low-profile and only about 110g mass.

I'm happy with their quality.

I like Burris Signature Zee rings but recently bought the 34mm Burris XTR (USA made) and I can't see any reason to pay more.. I also believe that the polymer inserts have many advantages other than adjustability.

+1 on Burris for light/cheap/good. I love the ARC for heavy duty.

Talley!! Take a look at the custom rifles featured in yearly Gun Digest’s for the past 20 years and Talley rings are by far the ring/mount of choice of top tier rifle builders.

#1 choice for ring marks thats for sure. They are a nice looking ring for sure and light weight too, but I don't care what you mount them on and how square and true they claim to be they will mark a scope every time. Next time you mount a set on a rifle set your alignment points in them and see how much they are off. You have to lap them like crazy to square them up and they will still leave a ring mark. Nothing makes me madder than rings marks on a scope that cost me a month's pay.

My 30mm were made in China. Wonder why the Chinese can’t make 34mm, or do they????

Talley rings. Can someone splain to me why these should command a $200 retail price tag? That's what the eBay listing claims it to be.

Talley lw one piece on my non rail rigs. Lap them 50-75% contact,B Signature or B. tactical rings on the rails.

 

[Medic505]

If I paid $200 bucks for a set of rings and had to lap them, I wouldn't be a happy camper.

Another vote for Vortex Pro Picatinny rings. $60.00

Vortex Precision Matched rings are great but the $135 price is a bit much.

 

[Rob01]

$135 is not a bad price for quality rings but you can find them cheaper if you look around.

If you want perfect alignment of the rings with no marks, first lap the rings and keep the rings assigned to an action. I have have great success lining lapped rings with transparent Scotch Tape. I have numerous NightForce scopes and none of them have any ring marks.

Picatinny rails eliminate the need to lap rings. If you use a one piece Picatinny rail on a bolt action rifle you do not need to lap the rings. This assumes you are using quality CNC machined rings.
