Scope Rings for SWFA Rifle Scopes?

I was just inquiring about scope rings for SWFA Rifle Scopes.

I'm not sure what you mean; are you asking about the SWFA brand of rings or what rings will work on an SWFA scope? I have several SWFA scopes and I have used mostly Burris XTR's on them and that has been a great combo for me. I have also used Vortex and Weaver without a problem. Any quality 30mm ring will be fine. I have an SWFA SSALT mount on my AR-15; it is really similar to a Burris PEPR mount.

I'm in the process of getting a SWFA scope and was just wondering what scope rings work good with them and don't loosen or lose accuracy too fast.

+1 for the Burris rings. You don't need to lap them for great performance. No ring marks if you decide to upgrade/change glass.

Thanks Capt RB and others but were you referring to the Burris XTR's or the Burris PEPR scope rings ?

[Capt RB]

Signature's, XTR signature's with the inserts. The straight XTR's without the inserts should be lapped. If for no other reason than to confirm they are aligned. As should any other ring that doesn't have the insert.
Can you run a ring without lapping? Yes. Should you with precision expectations, especially at distance? You will have to answer that for yourself.

I was wondering what height rings for the Burris XTR'so? ? As I will be putting them on a SWFA SS 10x42mm Tactical 30mm Rifle Scope and on a EGW picitinny rail with 20MOA angle ?

Thanks,

The lowest ones are still a touch higher than I like With a ammo carrier cheek riser I still need to put a 1/2" of foam under it. Obviously an adjustable would work fine

 

[Capt RB]

Clearance isn't an issue.

 

[375rifleman]

Please correct me if I'm wrong but a set of Burris low XTR scope rings and inserts would/will work for my setup right?

[Capt RB]

yes

I can't thank you enough for all of your guys help.

Unfortunately around me the only Burris Xtreme Tactical Signature Scope Rings available WITH INSERTS are MEDIUM HEIGHT would this work for my application or would I be better off getting the Burris Xtreme Tactical Scope Rings LOW HEIGHT WITHOUT INSERTS and then lapping them ?

If your going to have to lap the rings anyway swfa rings would be a more cost effective choice. I would contact them with your set up for the ring with the tightest clearance. Low burris should be fine with the 42mm objective with the sunshade. But your giving them and extra Jackson for arguably nothing over the swfa rings. The insert rings are imho the upgrade. They offer 20 moa of cant no lapping and no ring marks on your scope tube. But the height issue is an issue if your using a 40-42mm ob.
