UM Tikka Rings vs….

Now this is a good point. Why on rockslide is the maven considered like gold? I must’ve missed where the maven is top of the heap now.

Agree with the above. Compared to UM lows, T084 are lighter, a bit cheaper, mount the scope slightly lower and have a great/equal track record from what I’ve read.

I’d say it’s a toss up between UM and Sportsmatch depending on your priorities but I’d take both over a rail setup.
