Ring options on a Panda

Silver $$ Contributor
I'm looking to get a panda action and currently have a sightron siii 10-50x60 for it. I'm using Burris sig zee rings which I really like, and was curious if it's possible to use these on a panda? Aside from being able to keep the scope optically centered, I really hate the idea of possibly getting ring marks on my scope.
 
Kelbly rings won't put marks on your scope, and you need not worry that the dovetail and rings aren't on the same axis as the scope.​
 
What is the difference between the Panda F-Class actions compare to the regular models, other than the piccatiny rail?

The F-Class action can be purchased with either the pic rail or the dovetail rail. It also has the built-in recoil lug.
 
While I have not been able to use Burris Signature Zee rings on Picatinny bases, Burris has recently come out with tactical rings that have the inserts, that do fit Picatinny bases.
 
i used these adapters for the scope checker to get scopes with the burris rings on them to be checked.

i think they are BKL ring adapters for rimfire from sinclair. it works for this job.


 
If you are going to use the Panda action, you should consider using the Kelbly rings, or the rings made by John Loh. Neither will leave ring marks on your scope.
 
I'm not opposed to using the kelbly rings but I think the picatinny rail appeals to me more. I already have the Burris signature zee rings and I really like what they offer.

What are the advantages/disadvantages of a integral recoil lug and are there any other differences with the f class action I should be aware of?
 
The integral lug makes it more suitable for larger calibers. The F-Class comes standard with either a dovetail or picatinny 20MOA rail. The F-Class action is designed for long range shooting. For firsthand information and the actual descriptions for the actions, visit the Kelbly website. No one knows more about the Panda action than the maker;)

I shoot a 300WSM ON a BAT action with Kelby rail and never had it move. That is in 15 years of 1000 yard BR. Never saw a reason to need a Picatinny rail.

The integral lug makes it easy to switch barrels and not worry about the lug being lined up. It also helps with recoil over not having a lug. Matt
 
I have run Kelby rings in the past no issue with them. If you are really wanting to keep your Burris rings just buy the dovetail to picatinny from Kelby. I bought one from them a year or two ago and it worked really well and saved me from buying a set of 34MM rings since I already had a $200 set. the $65 piece was way cheaper.

I like the idea of the base but do these mar the tops of the dovetail? It looks like they're held on by set screws on the top of the rail.
