What rings would you use

I am debating which rings to use for my next scope.
I currently have 2 scoped rifles, and both are using unimounts (one recon ADM and the other Spuhr).

For this 3rd and next rifle build, I will be using an NXS 3-15x50 on top of an M24 style fiberglass stock (308 action 24'' barrel), I have a feeling using an unimount would look and feel top heavy.

If you we're to run this type of scope/rifle, what rings would you run? Separate or uni?
Never ran separate rings and have the misconception that they can cause problems.
I am figuring uni-mount would be less affected by out of square top rail or whatnot.

For unimount I am looking at the 1.18'' height 30mm spuhr, I am scared it will ruin the classic look of this rifle,
For separate rings either ATRS or MDT Elite,

Maybe there is another option I missed entirely...
I want this build to have a classic precision rifle look to it by the way.
Hence the fiberglass M24 style stock, no muzzle brake, and 3-15 scope.
 
You are planning on using a rail on the receiver or just bases?

Not sure what kind of rings to recommend. I have used TPS and ATRS and they are both good. I’d probably just get whatever I could find used.
 
1 piece ATRS 20 moa steel rail, with the supplied screws i can torque the rail down to 25 in lbs with blue loctite,
Gives me an impression my rail is rock solid and wouldn’t flex,

The new MDT rings are nice but you need to go medium to have the bubble level option...
 
I run the MDT Elites on a few rifles and I've never had a problem. One of those is a .308 that's at 5000+ rounds and never had any issues holding zero. To be honest though I don't use the built in bubble level as it's not in the right place for my eye to see it. I prefer an Accuracy 1st level mounted on the scope and plumbed to the reticle anyways.

I briefly had a set of medium 34mm MDT rings and I found the same thing with the bubble level. It was a neat feature, and perhaps useful for leveling when mounting the scope, but from the drivers position, you couldn't see the level, and if you moved your head to the left so that you could, you were now looking at it on an angle and wouldn't get an accurate picture of if it was ACTUALLY level.

Currently I use NF Ultralight rings. Good rings, no issues.
