Burris XTR Sig and Signature ZEE rings have held my competition scopes for many many years and tens of thousands of rds. Love the ability to shim the scope for best zero set up... and no rings marks
Absolutely no slippage with my XTR Sig, Sightron SV combo (scope is 42oz)

Absolutely! No lapping required, easy install with no tipping / canting of scope. Furthermore never experienced any and zero slip or ring marks on removal.
Been on everything from rimfire to 338LM all without issue and for the price the quality cannot be beat!
You guys aren't making this easy for me! I was hoping there was going to be something that seemed to stand out head and shoulders above the rest. I guess its a good testament to how many good options we have now! I am thinking I will pony up and try a Sphur Unimount on this rifle. That will scratch that itch. I also have a PGW coming in the near future, it will definitely get Near or ATRS stuff on it because, CANADA.

TPS Steel rings (lots of spare parts like cross bolts, screws on-line) and ARMS22 just because I have GUN ADD (ADHD) and I'm always changing my mind/rifles/scopes/barrels etc. 
For my clients and their scopes, I send them to the Burris ZEE rings... easy to work with. Keep a few sizes (Low, Med, High) and diameters (1", 30mm) on hand for changing needs....
Buy what works for your: price / budget/ LCV Looks Cool Value/ game/ convenience/ source
And on my AI AT .308, I'm running ARMS #22 rings for my Mark4 LR/T

Same here. Couldn't be happier. Really like the design and the thinking process behind it, for example having only one screw on each side.

Burris XTR Signature rings or Spuhr unimounts because I'm sick of ring marks on expensive optics.
Except on the oversized set that I got that bottomed out on both sides and allowed the scope to slide in them........
No more MDT rings for me
My go-to's are Warne.
I have a set of Nightforce Aluminum/titanium that I like as well.
Did you contact MDT? They have excellent customer service. But thats too bad about the rings. We’re they gen 1 or gen 2 rings (bubble level, etc)
I did when i first got them and noticed they bottomed out. I was assured that was normal (despite knowing better).
After they slipped, i was offered a replacement set (eta unknown as they had none in stock and their cnc machine was down with no idea when the parts would be in to fix it), or a refund. I chose the refund.
To be fair, despite a couple QC issues I've had with MDT, they have been VERY accomodating and have paid for shipping both ways every time there's been an issue (which is often not the case with many manufacturers).
They were 34mm x 1.0" tall rings and had the bubble level built in.
Honestly, the level is a nice feature.....but realistically kind of useless on that particular height/diameter of rings because you can barely see it with the scope mounted.

I wonder if they were mis labeled 35mm rings? I know the gen 2 rings are designed to bottom out on the one side (marked with a dot) as you torque one side all the way then the other, but definitely not both. And yeah the level is a bit more of a novelty, but looks cool!
