Best picatinny rings?

[ChrisAU]

Why on earth would you want a level on the gun that you can't see while behind the scope

This. The offset level cap from Hawkins placed on the front ring is awesome.

This is a really good deal and also has a bubble level built in:

I got my first area 419 scope mount… within a month I bought two more! I tend to buy once cry once when it come to rifles/scopes and I’ve used all the “best” stuff and I don’t have anything bad to say about other rings but these are the best in my opinion. These will provide more grip on the scope and put less stress on it at the same time… what more could you want?

All of mine are nightforce and warne mountain tech.

I've had multiple sets of steel badger and tps rings in use that have been bombproof for years, they are heavy though. I have several sets of seekins that have been good too, though I did have 1 break at the clamp for the rail.

I have a rix l6 thermal and a vortex diamondback in adm recon qd mounts, switches fast & remains accurate

ARC MBrace rings for the win. Extremely repeatable return to zero. I take my scope off very regularly without issue.

Yes, the ring cap torque for ARC rings is 55in-lbs.

I just picked up an ARC mount. Is there anything to watch out for or worry about on the scope when using considerably higher torques?

No. The clamp force in the tube with ARC rings isn’t any more than with other rings.

Thanks for the clarification. I figured that would be the case but with the 55in-lbs torque spec when most others are half that, I became somewhat concerned that there may be more to it.

I think this is because the clamping force exerted by several lower torqued screws equates to the same force exerted by the arc’s one screw? I could be wrong

Thanks for posting.

I'm getting ready to scope a couple rifles and have been in analysis paralysis for some time. The 419 rail and Hunt rings appear to be what I'm looking for.
