Okay, I thought about putting this in accessories, but I figured General would be good too to catch more people's experience.
I am picking up some medium height weaver rings, I checked Midway USA and prices range from $6.39 to $98.99
Now, I am not putting this on a SHTF self defense carbine, nor on a safari rifle nor an ultramag. I figure I just don't have the need for quick release rings or rings designed to handle 375 H&H levels of recoil.
So getting away from the extremes, how much of a difference is there between a $6.39 set of rings vs a $15.99 set of rings vs a $35.99
Now I do know enough to skip the $6.39 as I fear at that price you'd have issues of poor threading, holes not lining up, etc etc, but once you get into the 'decent' price range, find the right type of screw head you want (hex vs phillips) decide if you want standard horizontal vs vertical split, how much difference is there?
Would you expect these two to give drastically different end results? (remember, going on a lighter recoiling rifle, not a 300 ultrakillermag)
