Seekins rails and rings.

Seekins rails and rings.

I like the talley one piece for hunting and I only use Ken Farrell rings for mounting to a rail.

SEEKINS............Stronger than any scope on the planet, precise fit, multiple height options, light enough and moderately priced. Double base attachment screws are also a plus.
CANNOT GO WRONG.

The Seekins are aluminum how well do they work with a steel rail? Are you better off with the Night Force rings for a steel rail?

I used Seekins alloy rings on steel Badger Ordinance rails for years with a 6.5SLR, .25-06AI and .300RUM. Both showed zero signs of wear or had a single issue.

You will never be able to tell the difference

SEEKINS, Lighter than steel, don't rust, don't need lapping and if you damage one it will be the least of your worries because if it is damaged your scope will be destroyed from the mishap. In fact I would be willing to bet you could destroy the strongest of scopes and STILL be able to reuse the Seekins rings. Steel is "old school" and unnecessary.
Think about this, 99% of scopes today are made out of thin aluminum in comparison to the thick aluminum rings. If the rings and base are stronger than the scope construction material why use heavy corrodable steel?

Pretty happy with my Burris XTR rings.

I usually run the NF ultralites but have owned many different brands, seekins, badger and they are all good. I recently bought the ARC M-10 because they are one of the few that make 40mm tube.

Seekins..Kelby..Barrett Zero Gap..and I really like Farrell rings!
Your rings and bases (if needed) are no place to scrimp!
Buy good stuff it pays in the long run. I like steel rings best.

New March rings unique and seem to be worth the investment.

I use NF Extreme rings and like them a lot. Badger is also pretty well regarded on this site

While "best" generally needs to be qualified for use, cost, design, etc., I have found for use with my hunting rifles where weight is a factor, the Nightforce Extreme Duty, lightweight rings are well made and quite secure regardless of scope weight and recoil level. For a lower cost option, I have used the one piece Tally's with excellent success, however, unlike the NF rings, lapping is usually required for a +70% bearing surface to the scope tube, and I will epoxy bed them to the receiver.
