Non-marring scope rings wanted

[Stud Duck]

I've got a couple of rifles to scope and I'm looking for recommendations on rings that tend not to pinch or mar the scope tube.

I'm not going to use a pic rail on these two rifles, so that my eliminate some rings.

Based upon your EXPERIENCE, what are your recommendations?

Burris Signature have a synthetic insert. They will not leave a mark on your scope.

Without a pic rail, I think that lapping the rings will address the issue. I have had great success with Leupold dual dovetail and lapping.

Burris duel dovetail signature rings.

DNZ scope mount. Pinching comes from thin top metal usually. Also lapping will remove some of that problem. I like to save weight on my rifles, but never with the scope mount.

The biggest offender with any rings is the installer. Make sure you are using good tools and do not over tighten

If you arent using a pic rail, it could help you to get a good recommendation to specify what you WILL use. A tikka direct mount will maybe get a different answer than a browning or a kimber, etc. For what its worth Ive never had a decent set of horizontally-capped rings mar a scope, and I definitely dont under-tighten. Id look for the best rings, and you can bet that those wont mar your scope if installed right.
