I am purchasing a trijicon accupoint 3x9 1 inch tube. I have a guy wanting to sell me some slightly used arms 22 qd rings for $60 (good deal I think) but they are for 30mm tubes. which brings me to the question should I buy the inserts that go with the arms mounts or do you have a better recomendation for some 1 inch rings. </div></div>
ARMS Mounts and Rings are dogshit. Do you really <span style="font-style: italic">need</span> QD rings? If so, I think you're better off with Leupold QRWs'. If the QD feature isn't important I would go with Leupold PRWs'.
BTW, this should be in the <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">"

Are A.R.M.S. really that bad? I have a pair i guess i got just for build sake for my SPR and i haven't noticed anything that stands out as a problem. </div></div>
As I stated in my reply to <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">treypd</span></span> (the OP), <span style="font-style: italic">"ARMS Mounts and Rings are dogshit."</span> I say this because when ARMS mounts and rings are compared side-by-side against Larue, ADM, or other quality manufacturers' products the difference in construction, finish, and OAL QC is readily apparent. In my experience ARMS Mounts are rather flimsy. What other manufacturer's mounts and/or rings did you compare side-by-side to ARMS before you made your purchase? If you haven't had other manufacturer's equipment in-hand than you have no basis for comparison, do you?
Also, <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">treypd</span></span> was offered what he thinks is a good deal on some 30mm ARMS #22 QD Rings, but his scope has a 1" tube so he'll need 30mm-to-1" reducers/spacers. If <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">treypd</span></span> buys ARMS reducers/spacers at $35.00 (before shipping) his investment goes to at least $95.00. The ARMS #22 QD Rings are $119.00 new. So <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">treypd</span></span>'s supposed "good deal" is less of a good deal than he thinks on so-so quality rings. I think it would be unfortunate if <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">treypd</span></span> bought some rings because he perceives them as a good deal that really isn't.
