Need a ring recommendation

[jrg]

My Vortex Tacticals let the scope move for the third time. I'm looking at some of the one piece mounts, that replaces the 20 moa rail too.

But before I spend $250 on the Nightforce one piece, are there any rings I should look at?

I have been using the ARC M-10 rings for several years now & have never had a problem or any ring marks!
I would highly recommend these to anyone!

Try bedding the rings if the slippage occurred on the tube

There is no reason that those rings shouldn't be able to hold the scope securely. Measure the scope tube's actual OD and hone or lapp them to size.

If I am not mistaken, @Overkill338 decided on Burris XTR sig with inserts, which is an excellent choice for the money.

You are correct sir. This was the third time my scope slipped on this rifle. Making it the FIRST scope I've ever had to move after mounting.

@ntsqd I bought the "Vortex" rings off ebay, and at the time I didn't know fakes were being sold. Looking at things now, I'm about 99% sure they are fakes.

Ah, that does change things.

Ah, that does change things.

Looking back, the packaging was cheap and thin. Thats my fault, and I have reported them.

My Burris Signature XTR rings came today. I used the inserts to add 5 more MOA to my rail, which has 20. Doubt it will zero at 100yards now, oh well.

Thanks @FEENIX for the suggestion.

How much total adjustment does your scope have?

How much total adjustment does your scope have?

13 mil total, mine isn't in moa.

225 ELD-M, 2925 fps, 200 yard zero, I'll need 6.4 mil for 1000, and 17.9 mil for 1760.

If you need any help picking rings, let us know.

You can also order any ring in our line-up without the level if that's your preference.

Thanks. But I try to buy from my local dealer, and that was not offered as an option from him. In the future I will direct with you guys.

Man I have never seen rings slip that have been lapped and torqued correctly. Even the super cheep ones from E-bay. I really don't understand why everyone doesn't do this.

I never had any slip period. Regardless of price or type. This was a first for me.

As far as why "everyone" doesn't do that. For most people it's impractical to spend $100 on a torque wrench thats only good for installing scopes. The biggest majority install a scope, maybe once every 5 or 10 years.
