Anyone have a preferred scope ring (30mm) that has an integral level? Advantages to your chosen?

I have the Hawkins Precision Hybrid Rings on a Tikka. They are like Talleys on steroids with an integral level. On a hunting rifle, I like that the level is not sticking off to the side.

No experience with them, but I've been looking for something for my new Mark 5. Hawkins has the combo rings mentioned above as well as picatinny rings both with the integral level.

Hawkins Hybrid Long ranges are my go to now. Extremely well built and quality straight rings.

I just picked up the integrated level for my 30mm Talley lightweights. Seems to be ideal in that it's not too high to totally obscure the turret, though I could see that being an issue with a different scope. Haven't had it out of the house yet though, so hard to give a full report.

it's tough to beat the Hawkins. I personally think the level is fluff on my rifles as I NEVER look at it and if Andy sold them sans the bubble.....I'd buy it.

I also have the integrated bubble level for my Talley lightweights in 30mm. With an elevated turret I can still see what I’m dialing to.

Thanks for the input guys looks like Hawkins is high on the list. I vaguely remember seeing Zeiss rings so I'll take a look at those too.

Anything with the bubble on top is not ideal IMO. The ones i've seen are not easy to check without coming off your cheek weld or they obscure your elevation dial. Because of that I'll take a separate level every time.

If there are any with an offset level that can be used without lifting your head off your cheek weld I'd be interested.

I have the Hawkins / Steiners. They are robust look to be well crafted. They also came as a free promotion with the Steiner scope I bought.
