New gun but Which rings? - 03/05/16 07:13 PM
I am putting together a new gun and scope Combo, 22" barrel, ABolt II .308 and 3x12x56 Burris euro diamond. I want stainless and as low as possible. What are you running and would you suggest?
DNZ Game reapers and be done with it
I have them on everyone of my rifles.

Just a thought, and a personal preference but stainless rings on a black scope really stick out to me. I would use leupold rings, not much better than those. Nice rifle BTW, I'm a big a bolt fan

X 2 for Talley Lightweight. Mediums would probably work.

I'd go either Talley lightweights or Leupold dual dovetails.

I agree with black.
I just bought the same gun. I'm either going with talley, Burris, or Leupold. I don't like rails or one piece mounts.
If you go talley, you will need high, mediums will not work on a 56mm.

The only advantage of Talley Lightweights is weight. That rig is not one where I would be concerned about a couple more ounces. it's already far from a lightweight. Leupold dual dovetails are stronger than the Taley LW if you don't like the idea of a rail and tactical rings.

Thanks for all the responses fellas. I have leupold dual on my other Abolt. I like the cleaner look as opposed to a rail. I'm not opposed to black, I just want something that won't rust. I have never had DNZ mounts they seem to be solid looking though.

S&K makes nice real stainless,not silver,rings/bases. I put them on any gun I plan to keep.

Weaver mount Burris Signature Rings
Picatinny = a standardized spacing copy of the old Weaver system.
Weaver/Picatinny is what I like

Matte black Talley's or Dual Dovetail Leupold.

Re: New gun but Which rings? - 03/07/16 10:35 PM
Stainless Leupold rings and bases. Never had an issue with any of my Leupold rings and bases.

If the leupold rings w/ windage adjustable rear were the only options for scope mounting then I'd give my scoped rifles away and just use a 30-30 with iron sights.
Talley's have yet to let me down, unlike the leupolds.

I'm not a fan of the rear adjustment Leupold mounts either but dual dovetails are solid.

I have a couple sets of the standard Leupold mounts with the rear windage screw on some older rifles. Haven't had any issues because I ain't had to touch em since they went on. Would never buy another set though. No way am I torquing my scopes by adjusting windage with the ring. If you want Leupold, get the dual dovetails.

I have all standard Leupold bases/rings on mine.Never had a problem out of em.

Re: New gun but Which rings? - 03/08/16 04:43 PM
I ended up going with the leupold standard 2piece. In matte black.

Are those medium or high rings?
Posted By: Bustinbeards
Re: New gun but Which rings? - 03/09/16 07:52 AM
They are high, the guy started putting extra high and I made him take them off. I wanted to put mediums on but the scope is pretty close to the barrel with the high ring, it does shoulder well as far as eye relief and getting lined up.

Took the Abolt un cleaned and pre trigger adjustments to shoot a few rounds and just get it on paper after getting the scope mounted. I had a box of cheap federal power shock 150 gr soft points at the House and Decided to try those since I had them on hand. Just for giggles I figured I'd shoot this gun for the first time at 100 yards, it hit at almost exactly 9 o'clock on the left side of target. Adjusted the scope and cut the windage in half to the bullseye with the next bullet. Made one more adjustment and the Next 5 shots were within a 3" of each other. I was quite pleased, I took it home and cleaned all the factory packaging grease and oil off and adjusted the trigger down. I can hardly wait to get a chance to go do some real shooting and dial it in. I was very impressed with the Burris eurodiamond, it is a very clear and crisp scope that tracks well, I'm ready to see how it does at dusk and dawn.
