Need to get a new set of scope rings. The one ones I have just aren't cuttin it. I have a Remington 700 SPS Varmint in .308 with a Nikon Buckmasters scope that's a 1 inch tube. The problem I was having was that the scope was moving forward in the rings, so I need good rings. I was suggested these Burris rings, these Leupold rings, and some Larue rings, but they aren't the right size. Any other suggestions? Please point me in the right direction.

Those PRWs held the scope in place on my 12ga slug gun firing 3 boxes of 3" 546gr lightfield slugs.

Those burris ones are great, midway has all their sizes. I reccomend lapping the rings in and using a torque wrench to torque the screws, using an alternating pattern. The lapping will insure maximum contact area to eliminate slip among other things.

Yup, just wanted to get opinions from the community. Thanks, jOn.

Do I need one of the special tools for lapping, or is there a way around it?

I'd recommend these TPS rings.

No lapping necessary. I've used two sets and they are great. If you need a rail, check-out EGW as they make rails for other brands, but buying direct from the manufacturer saves you about $20 or more.

 

Adios,

Yeah you need a bar to do it.

I prefer these, I like 2 pc bases.
