Just ordered a Ruger american in .308 and a Redfield Revolution 4X12X40 for it. Only one question left: What are some good, affordable scope rings? I'm looking for something $40 or under hopefully.
I have switched all my rifles to the Burris Signature Z rings with the pos-align inserts...
What about ring hight? Is that personal preference or dependant upon the scope?
I have switched all my rifles to the Burris Signature Z rings with the pos-align inserts. You can adjust up to 20 MOA vertical or horizontal and you never have to worry about lapping your scope rings or messing up your scope tube by over tightening your rings. In a nutshell, you can center your reticle, move the inserts appropriately and adjust your scope to zero in just a few clicks. I have had much more expensive mounts that don't hold a candle to the Burris system.
idcurrie, while you're correct about proper height, from what I've seen some 99% of best height for a proper cheek weld is "as low as you can get". Most stocks are set up that way.
