Heathen !!.......I'll grant you one thing, they're over priced, but the optilock plastic inserts really protect your scope from ring marks.

Yep, the plastic inserts are good but I lap those rings that don't use inserts and never get ring marks.

I like the low Leupold rings for scopes that have a smaller front objective and the medium Leupold rings for larger objectives. Light and strong, never had an issue with them and one pair on an older Sako Forester has never moved in twenty seven years.

Apart from being expensive and heavy the Optilocks are pushed hard by retail salesmen from the likes of H&F, Gun City etc because they either don't know any better or they're going to make more profit.
