New Vortex Pro Rings vs Seekins

[ChrisAU]

Anybody have experience with these? Looking at the 0.9" ones to really snug down my scope to my rifle vs the 0.92" Seekins rings, and saving ~$55 doesn't sound bad either (really the main point). All the reviews I've found seem to be positive. Not sure how I feel about the torque specs being engraved on the rings but I'd bet I can live with it.

I believe the Vortex rings are or were made by Seekins at one time. If they still are, I'd have no issue using them. I am a Seekins fan, never a problem with their gear.

Used them on a 17 HMR and 22 LR. No issues. Never used on a big game rifle.

The Pro Precision Matched rings are made by Seekins, these are made in the USA by another machining company for Vortex. Great reviews on Amazon and the lows are sold out everywhere. Still probably just go Seekins since I can’t find lows.

My brother and I have been using a set of these for about 6-8 months on a loaner scope. Have probably mounted it on 7-8 rifles now. They are solid and well built. Very nice for the price but they aren’t Seekins.

Since I couldn't find the Vortex lows (.90") I went ahead and ordered Seekins mediums (.87"), thanks!
