Rifle Scopes Am I shooting myself in the foot with these rings?

[TurdFerguson]

I am looking at a set of Warne Horizontal Maxima rings for a new scope. Anyone have any experience with these? I've had the vertical split rings, and liked them but wanted to try something else.

I have a set. They work fine with my USO ST10 scope, but in the past they bind the parallax turret on my IOR and Vortex scopes.

I would avoid them. Avoid any that use the same lower screw to squeeze the scope tube, and clamp onto the base.

Vortex makes a vertically split set that has a separate ring caps rather that split halves. They work fine.

Ive had some issues with the vertical, but they have a horizontal split out now

Those look good. Near identical to BAT and MDT rings.

Those look like utg poi rings to me.

Vortex has some lower priced rings that look like those also.

If you are shooting yourself in the foot it’s not your rings. Your base has wayyy too much cant.

I've got a set in quick-detach format - no issues, +repeatable.

I apologize. I misread your original post.

My first reply was probably nonsensical as a result. Disregard

I would not cheap out on your rings & stay away from vertical split rings, Seekins Precision makes really good rings & mounts, you can get a set of 30mm rings for around $130.00, I have several sets & all are great, just put one of their one piece AR mounts on a rifle & it's a really nice mount for an AR.

I also vote for Seekins rings. I only have one set of Vortex rings. Everything else is Seekins.

Badger or Nightforce when it comes to rings.
