Optilocks on a picitinny rail

[mshelton]

Anyone ever use these?

I've had them for a 1" Sako receiver and really liked them, looking at a set in 30mm for a picitinny rail and see that they are pretty pricey and hoping to get some opinions before buying a set.

What kind of rings are you buying or rather pricing? as I recall there the same price as for the Davidson rail or there about.

Comparing them to the price of a JJ rings or the Kelbly rings, both are around $100 but looking at the Optilocks because of past experience with them and that they don't mar scopes (yes I've lapped the JJ and Kelbly rings).

Last scope I mounted was a 10-60 March with JJ rings, lapped and set to 16lbs but still gouged the scope. Looking to avoid having that happen again.

The Optilocks and bases I priced were about $80 for the picitinny bases and $74 for the rings themselves. I don't mind spending the money if they work and work well just wondering if anyone had any experiences with them. Also looking at the Burris rings but would like to hear about the optis.

Your mention of the Davidson rail has my curiosity up, are you saying you have Optilock to davidson bases?

No problem, though I did get my hopes up that there were davidson / optilock bases.
