rings for nightforce competition 2014

[burn]

Hi all, I'm not far off recieving my new scope, a nightforce competition 2014 with fcr1 reticle. I was wondering which rings would be best for it. Its going on my barnard f open rifle in 6br, I dont mind ken farrell rings, what other ones are there out there at the upper end of rings?

I would suggest alloy rings, best NF ultralight, very good quality/price Burris Xtreme

Are alloy rings the strongest? I assume they are lighter then plain steel rings?

Take a look at Seekins rings. Most of our Phoenix contingency uses these.

Aluminum is lighter then steel, I thought you meant a steel alloy. In anycase is something like 7075 aluminum stronger then steel?

I meant alloy aluminium (7075)

I ended up with ken farrell steel 30mm rings. Very nice and the scope is great. Shot my highest score in f class on the weekend with 125/126 with 10 centres.
