| Is there really a huge difference between some 60 dollar scope rings and 150+ dollar scope rings? Doesnt the scope make the most difference and the rings just hold it in place? |

The only cheap rings I would recommend are the Burris Extreme rings. They're 6-screw aluminum rings. I used them for 4 years shooting 50's at FCSA matches on both an ALS and State Arms Shorty. Never had them move with 50 BMG recoil and heavy NXS 56mm scope. I did lap them, use rosin in them, and they were carefully torqued.
I wouldn't use any cheaper rings than Buris Extremes and I wouldn't use their LOW rings. Their low rings have lots of metal removed to fit the cross clamp. If you want a one-piece ring that is known to work well, the Armalite one-piece rings hold up really well too and are easy to swap between rifles. I only use Badger rings now, though. Usually find them at a bargain on Snipershide used. -David Edgewood, NM |
| Yeah I was looking at the Burris Extremes and some nightforce rings. I'll be mounting a mk4 lr/t for now til I have enough money for a nightforce. I dont want to be a cheapskate and get 60 dollar rings for a 6000 dollar gun but at the same time I dont want to throw away 200 dollars if 60 will do just as good |
| I'm running the burris xtreme's now. I got my set for about $45. They seem stout enough but I haven't run enough rounds through the gun to see if the scope will move. Before I got the Burris I was using the Armalite 1 piece mount and had no troubles with it at all. |

I am eventually going to break down and get a NightForce NSX 5.5x22 for my Barrett M82. I would like to get a Barrett BORS system for it. The system only works with Barrett Rings. How are the Barrett rings? Does anyone here have them? The BORS rocks!!! I have that same set up |

How are the Barrett rings? Does anyone here have them? They are very good and solid! Not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for....... |

I just thought Barrett rings would look silly on my Armalite rifle.
