Like the subject says..I know a little bit about a bunch of things shooting wiser but SFA about rings. Yeah, I know, you get what you pay for and pay for what you get. But honestly, its pretty horrible trying to figure out why some rings are priced at $100 and some, that purportedly do the same job, cost hundreds more. I know you're going to say "they don't do the same job, thats why some cost more", but how do you know where the value really is for what is delivered? I know enough not to expect great results for $20. I see rings offered on the forum for $100+ and eventually sold for much less. I see rings snapped up at a lot higher prices and wonder what the heck? I probably offended someone recently by offering $60 when $80 was being asked on an original offer of $100.
In this particular case I'm after a set of rings to mount a Scout scope on a Rossi Puma which I have a Pearson rail on. 1" rings required, medium height, (I think).
Then I have a CZ 550 coming that I will need some rings for. Worlds apart right? So they are not likely to be similar priced rings right? But how much different? And why - technically? The CZ is in 6.5x55 by the way.
FWIW I am more a moderate range hunter not a long range shooter - under 300 with the CZ, up to 120 with the 357 - most shots with either are sub 100. I use the range for practice and fun but don't really compete.
If there are threads already elucidating all this please direct me. Otherwise have at it.
