Dear Friends!

Which are the most desirable Weaver / Picatinny Rings?

I have not had bad results with UTG.

Warne ... so, so.

Some scopes "turn", even tightened down SOLID. Also the levelling process is extremely difficult.

Leupolds have a curious kind of separation, not 50 : 50. Also not the best Rep.

Recknagels have s SOLID reputation in Germany, but are heavy and EXPENSIVE!

Pls tell me your opinions, TIA, Hermann

I like and use Burris Signature series rings with the polymer inserts.

What rifle do you want to mount the scope on?

I have used Weaver rings and found them OK but now prefer the Redfield/Leupold type with lateral adjustments at the back. With a coin or broad screwdriver in your pocket, you can swing the scope off in a moment - in case it is too powerful to make the quietus

I guess there is a place for Picatinny rails but they look ugly to me.

That´s true.

I am gonna change the Pica Rail on my Winchester 70 Featherweight ( current Production ) to Steel Weaver Bases, as on my Win 70 Safari Express, current production, .375 H & H.

For rings which fit the Weaver-type base (as well as Picatinny rails) I like the Burris Z-rings. They are all steel and well-made. I've also used the Millett Crossloc rings, which are also all-steel. They have the added advantage of being adjustable both front and back for windage, which can be helpful on rifle on which the mounting holes are drilled slightly out of alignment with the bore.

I don't particularly care for plastic ring inserts as I regard steel-on-steel as more dependable, however, the Burris Signature Zee rings can come in handy if you have significant misalignment of the mounting system since the plastic inserts are eccentric and can be turned to compensate for misalignment.

I´ll look up the Burris Z Rings - IF I can get them in Europe.

thx, Hermann

They have only ONE screw per Ring side!

No.

Simply no.

I have to look and ask for good rings furthermore.
