| I have a Varmint upper on the way and need to know what type of rings to get. I'm assuming that Weaver type will work, is that correct ? Thanks, Joe |

That depends. Generally, the slip-down-the-rail split rings aren't the best choice, especially the light weight aluminum types. I prefer either a MS1913 speced ring or the type of "Weaver" ring that uses a side claping bar/bracket that both pushes against one side of the rail while pulling in and clamping around the other side. Bear in mind that "Weaver" is just a style, while MS1913 is a specific dimensional call-out to standardize that particular "Weaver" base. just because it's "Weaver" doesn't mean it will fit all MS1913 bases/plarforms, and just because it's MS1913 doesn't mean it will fit all "Weaver" rails.

| I personally prefer to use the Warne extra or ultra high quick disconnect rings. They fit great, look good, and are at a reasonable price. They are all steel and are a good strong ring. I have changed out most of my scope rings to Warne and think they are some of the better products offered on the market. |
