Seekins vs Vortex rings at SWFA

[drespecki]

Need a set of 1" rings and wanted to get a set of Vortex Precision Matched rings that are the same as the 30mm ones I got last year for a different rifle..
Now I see that Seekins are $113 and the Vortex are $130 ? Are they not the same darn thing with the same warranty etc..?

The Vortex rings are made by Seekins, BUT the Seekins rings are have different heights than Vortex. Don't know for sure if they are all different, but had both in 30mm low and Seekins lows mounted scope closer to rifle by a good bit. Just saying you oughta check. Both are very good rings.
