Lightweight hunting optic

[Yerman]

Wow, thank you all. Great posts here.

I decided to not pass up the VX-6HD deal. It's inexpensive and hits all the marks for me. I'd rather save some money and spend it on some other stuff I need.

What's the consensus on best-of-the-best rings around here. I can talk for hours about adjustable ELR scope mounts but I'm not up to speed on hunting rings.

I trust these guys stuff. They built my 300NM.

HUNT Scope Rings

Given the success of our MATCH and TACTICAL scope mounts, we knew what the HUNT rings needed to be. Light, rigid, and able to hold onto an optic in a dramatic recoiling environment. To do this was no small manufacturing task. This led us down a rabbit-hole, ultimately arriving on a process that...

I prefer Seekins Precision which are machine matched pairs:

Scope Rings

<p>The best rifle scope in the world is useless without scope rings precisely aligned that hold it immovably in place. Seekins Precision Scope Rings are the best available to mount precision optics to precision rifles. Machined from 7075-T6 alum

Hard to get but worth the wait.
I believe Vortex resells them under the name Precision Matched Rings but they want more $ for theirs.

I have two Meta's, they are awesome scopes. I have hunted and guided hard with these scopes…beat the "tar" out of them, fully submerged them…and I'll be damned if they didn't just keep on going…no change in impact…still tracked like a dream. That's why they won't be getting replaced, I know that they will come through for me when I need them to. Clarity isn't as good as their "polar" lineup, as I have a few of those, but is still really good.

On a side note I really like the ASV II-B LT turret you can get on them. Very user friendly and adjustable in a snap. All but one of my hunting rifles has that turret now from Schmidt. The only one that doesn't is my super long range gun that wears their 6-36 PMII.

Good luck and let me know if you have any specific questions I can answer, or pics you might need.

EGW rings have never let me down. Ever. And they seem to be the same as the nightforce rings. Perhaps they make them for nightforce.
I have never had a pair fair even on my lightweight magnums or my big long range rigs.
