Rings+Bases, what are you guys using?

[philthygeezer]

Burris Signatures on two piece mounts.

Either Weaver standard QD rings, Leupold PRW or some form of detachable ring for one-piece rails. Burris needs to update their signatures to a QD type of effort to tip on and not slide on. It drives me nuts: the rings are great except for that.

Well what are you guys using on your bolt-actions. Looking to try something different this time around. I have the scope, but would like to hear what rings and bases are to like or hate. In the past I've used weaver style base with millet anglelock or burris Z-rings. Neither have given me any grief.

If these have served you well, why the change? I've used this system on lots of rifle with no problems at all.

Tally LWs are another that I use and like.

308 and over i use steel base and rings under a 308 you can get away with cheaper stuff, the recoil is the determing factor... JP.

I've used aluminum Weavers on several 375H&Hs with no problems at all, but good rings are a must.

Here's some pictures of my rifle I just finished up. the mount is a Near Manufacturing "AlphaHunter" one piece mount and I cannot say enough about it. It's a true work of art.

All in all it's a stock Rem 700 SPS stainless with 2lb timney trigger, HS bottom metal, McMillan Edge ultralight Olive stock, Near alphamount and Nightforce 2.5-10x32mm scope with NP-R2 reticle.

Can't wait to get her shooting!

That sure is a nice looking ring-base setup!


I've got mostly Leopold rings w 2 pc bases on my M-700s. On my old M-700 .30-06 I've got the one pc base.

I have Warne rings on my ZKK-602 and CZ-550.

Finally, on my Marlin M-1895GS, I've got Weaver rings & base and my Marlin M-1895XLR has Leopold 2 pc rings and bases.


Pretty much buy Leopold scopes - I am fan of the Vari-X III - but haven't bought a scope since the Vari-X III was phased out. I've got a Tasco, a few Bushnells and a Baush & Lomb Balvar.

I prefer low power variable scopes on my rifles.

 

[cody c]

Talley's, and recently evolution gun works picatinny rail with vortex precision matched rings.

 

[TERMINATOR101CA]

Burris Signature Z with nylon inserts and 2 pc Millett nickel bases. Looking to get a good one piece base though , in stainless.

 

[Ar180shooter]

Talley LW on my M70.

Cheap weaver stuff on my rimfire rifles.

 

[Reflex_84]

My A-Bolt has Burris Signature Zee rings sitting atop plane jane Weaver bases. Works well with no
markings on my scope.

Near manufacturing

If ur not worried about weight...Near manufacturing

 

[shanedapane]

Talley.

 

[na1lb0hm]

Leupold PRW and bases. love em. on all my centerfires.
give the torque screws a liberal coating of clear nail polish and everything is locked down.
burris signature zee on my rimfires.

For the weight of 3 oz for the one piece alphahunter mount, I don't believe you'd ever find a ring/base combo to match the strength to weight ratio. I'm no expert, but to me I'll sacrifice a bit of weight for strength. Is 3oz not really light compared to rings and bases as a combo? I chose the alphahunter because I knew it was fairly light but really strong, what would a really light rings and bases combo weigh?

 

[manitou210]

By far the best rings I have seen

Made by Hart in PA no base required 2oz

 

[saskcop]

I have had good luck with Leupold rings and bases on my hard kickers.

 

[Pescado]

Dual Dovetails and TPS.

 

[Ardent]

Ruger... I do like Warne rings, though, and Talley both in QD fashion. I have Warne QD's for my main Ruger, to swap the scope on/off with the twirl of a lever.

 

[BC Bigbore]

Talleys & Leupold mostly. Might be some Weaver and Redfield here & there too.

X2!!
I'm running aluminum Weaver bases on my 300RUM w/ steel Grandslam rings.
No problems what so ever!

 

[two-dogs]

Mostly Leupold rings and bases, some Redfield and Burris. I sure do hate reg Weaver rings.
