Looking for guidance on two questions. The first is regarding scope rings. I recently removed a truly bad set of rings and bases from a Tikka 7mm-08 and am replacing them with a picatinny rail and better rings. My scope has a 1"tube and a 40MM objective so I have to clear .92" at the bell. The question is which set of rings. I am looking for something solid and dependable?? I have been looking at the following:
Burris Xtreme Tactical Signature Picatinny Rings
I like these but they have inserts for scope cant and it looks a little like a gimmick. These rings have been on the market several years. Not sure what to think about these
Vortex Optics Pro Picatinny Rings
These meet the criteria but I can't get them in medium high
Weaver Tactical Picatinny Rings
I think these would be ok but the reviews are mixed.. apparently they need a lot of lapping that I don't have time to do right now.
Next question? my apology if this is truly dense? but how do you determine the internal adjustment available in a scope ? Two scopes of the same power - say 3x9 - from different makers will have different internal travel. I suspect it is simply the number of adjustments at 100yrds multiplied by the highest power?.
