what's the best... just kidding, I am going to buy my first pair of quality (hopefully) rings for my new scope. Please recommend rings at or under $100 that you are pleased with. I like things made in the USA. Made in Texas is even better but a stretch. Thanks for your recommendations.
Rifle Scopes 30mm rings

You have narrowed down the qualified rings to ....... zero. Good rings are more than $100 , regardless of mfg.
You might be able to pickup a set of seekins for around $100. They will hold up as good as anything else.
If you like a high height, try XLR. Your best bet is Seekins or Vortex here in the PX.
If you buy cheap rings you could always use this genius reinforcement mod....
But seriously the cheapest I'd buy would be leupold Mark 4. You could always look at Tally, Burris and Warne rings for a cheaper option that should have lower chances at just causing frustration that cheap rings can give.

Want great rings (30mm or otherwise), think: APA (alloy), Badger Ordnance (steel or alloy), Nightforce Ultralights (alloy) or Seekins Precision (alloy) . There are other great rings as well, but these I've used extensively and were trouble free. In almost any caliber under .338 Lapua, alloy rings are more than strong enough to hold up.
I tend to buy any one of those brands, based on availability and by the height that best fits the scope, mount and rifle I'm trying to fit. None of these will break your bank price wise, and buying a quality product the first time will save you money and troubles in the end.

I mostly use NF ultralights. I tried some TPS rings recently on a .243 I picked up cheap and, honestly, I can't tell the difference. That said, I have a new Leupold VX6HD 4-24x52 w/ the illuminated TMOA reticle on order, as well as a Vortex AMG, and they will both get NF rings. Probably overkill but I've never had any issues with them and they hardly leave any detectable marks.

I almost always go with NF Ultralight, and sometimes Seekins. My recommendation is to both save up a few more dollars and hunt for a sale. At $100 you are at the cost of a few micro brews away from a set of Seekins.

Burris XTR 's plus you can set the moa cant you wish from 0-40moa with them. My first set went on a 308 AR, the next set went on a two piece based Rem700 way more room like that for hand feeding if you need/want it.
Thanks for the tip on the sale. I picked up a set from them too.
I would also suggest seekins or vortex. They have never let me down.
I don't have any experience with Griffin Armament's scope rings but I've been satisfied with the back up irons that I have from them, very good machining quality overall. This is probably about the best you're going to find for the price. I've used the Burris XTR Tactical rings on a couple of budget builds and they worked surprisingly well for the price. The Burris XTR Signature rings are the ones with the inserts, they're cool too, I have a set on a Burris XTR II and the system works for sure.

That's the downside of asking for advice on the internet. Some responses are irrelevant, some responses don't address what you asked, and a few responses are valuable. You just have to sift through them. You my friend are focused. A+
