Thread: Scope rings ?

evening ,
i have a new scope coming that needs 1 inch rings .
So, its an expensive scope and its going on my rem 700 that i rely on to shoot well if all else is working that day ( including Me ! ) Now that i am looking for "good" rings , there seem to be more brands than ever before .
So, What is considered a good set of rings theses days, cause its my opinion that 200 bucks for a pair of leupolds is now too much.
cheers

your're about to bombarded with a thousand responses as this question has about as many answers.....
in no particular order
Talleys
Burris z rings
Burris signiture series
Sig
element optics
leupold PRWS
Contessa
Precision Pro
Optiloc's
the list goes on and on, like the scope and rifle, you to an extent you get what you pay for and $200 should see you with a reasonable set of rings if you want your rifle to be reliable and have faith in your mounting system then spend the money... either a scope rings and a good rail fitted and bedded to spec or a set of Talleys will see you right, I have run both and still do and never had an issue with either when fitted properly.

Yip hard to go wrong with talleys they can need lapping at times but iv always had a good run with them

found using an alignment bar really helpful when setting up and bedding Talleys

Im more than happy with weavers,either clip over or the new double over the top jobbies... never had them move or fail with some HARD usage .

I like the lowest steel rings in turn in bases. I have some new bases for 45 dollars including post. Rings can be obtained for about 70 dollars.
