Vortex Optics is known for the impeccable machining in each and every one of its products (hence the unconditional warranty), and their scope rings are no different.

The Pro Series scope rings are lightweight but durable. Aside from torque specs that are laser-etched on them, these rings also come with four T-25 Torx-style socket cap screws so you can expect tight and secure mounting. There are four ring heights available so you should be able to find the size that’ll work best regardless of your rifle and scope combo.

What Customers Say

I think these scope mounts are pretty good for the money and worth it if you’re looking for something that works. I’ve had no issues with mine at all. Just don’t tighten too tight.

Keaton Kilby

Easy to install, instructions easy to follow. Even had torque wrench Settings on rings next to screw head. Great rings.

Imagine the dovetail rail’s easy installation combined with Leupold’s forged premium steel construction – that’s like scope mount heaven!

Leupold’s Dual Dovetail (DD) system feature dovetail connection at the front and rear for a tighter hold and a more stable platform. The DD’s twist-and-lock action also establishes a firmer connection with the base. Because of its solid construction, these Leupold dovetail scope rings can withstand heavy recoil from large calibers. Plus, it features two-piece bases for more accessibility to your rifle’s breech area.

They feel rock solid and I am very satisfied with the quality of these steel rings and also with the bases.

Our next pick is designed specifically for AR-15 uppers with Mil-Spec 1913 Picatinny rails. The Aero Precision Ultralight 30mm scope mount is constructed from solid anodized black 6061-T6 extruded aluminum. Despite its durability, this ultralight scope mount is so light that you can barely feel its weight once installed. Its cross-slot keyway provides reinforcement against recoil and its clamp design offers easy installation.

What Customers Say

Works great, mounts very solid and looks great on my AR.

Dustin C.

Very secure and sturdy, light weight mount. Aero always has made quality at their price point. Using it for a Vortex strike eagle mounted to a BCM Recce 16. no movement no issues. Love the torx tool included with the mount.

Best for Picatinny Rail: Burris Optics XTR Signature Rings

If you prefer the multi-functional Picatinny rail, these scope rings from Burris Optics will go the distance for you! 

These top-shelf rings have eliminated the need for shimming or tapered bases when used for precision shooting. They’re made from high-quality aluminum so durability and unparalleled holding power are guaranteed even through extreme weather. 

What Customers Say

Very nicely made kit, everything is finished perfectly, fits perfectly, installs easily. These rings are beefy and not going anywhere. Plus they add a proper scope cant while staying low to the action, another plus for me.

GK

These scope mounts are heavy duty. They come in a really nice case, with in depth instructions. I used these scope mounts on my savage .22 so we can reach out and touch some metal plates at 300 yards. I would recommend.

What’s the best thing about the Warne Quick-Detach rings? You can detach and re-attach them and your scope won’t budge and will stay zeroed like nothing happened! These QD rings are heavy-duty and can hold up to abuse really well. It features a one-of-a-kind square stainless steel recoil control key that promotes positive ring-to-base engagement.

If you’re pairing a low-profile mount with these quick-detach rings, you can effortlessly mount your scope low enough and achieve a proper cheek weld.

What Customers Say

They work great, look teriffic and are very high quality. I like to remove a scope to prevent damage before working on or cleaning a rifle, and also during transport. These QD rings make that a ten second task.

John E. Davies

Nice rings. Fits on M1A. Quick detach works well. Had trouble with zeroing scope which was more on a defective scope, not the rings.

Precision shooters love our last pick as it offers a larger clamping surface area than standard scope rings. That plus its wide and beefy but precisely-machined 7075-T6 aluminum construction. And don’t worry about its chunkiness, because every edge and surface are designed for a snag-free experience. You’ll also adore their non-glare Type III Hardcoat Anodized matte black finish. These scope rings from Seekins Precision are compatible with the most rifle and optic combos. 

What Customers Say

Just built my first custom rifle and the only rings I’d consider wrapping around the the NF scope are Seekins. They are a great value and extremely well made. If you need a great pair of scope rings, look no further.

My Nightforce fit so snug it was unbelievable. Can not say enough good things about these rings.
