Removed my USO SN-3 in Seekins rings on Seekins bases to road test the MK4 with the Holland reticle. Been off about a month. Removed the MK4 and re-installed the USO. Check zero at 100 yds, same as before. NO adjustment needed. Glen claims not all rings can do this. YMMV.

Near Mfg. rings and mounts will.
 
Re: Best rings revisited

Fortunately, we have plenty of great choices in quality rings:

Seekins
Badger
Nightforce
TPS

I have each of these and find the quality to be outstanding for all. The TPS are about 1/2 the price of the others.
 
Re: Best rings revisited

With my limited experience, I consider Vortex 35mm rings of high quality - on par with the four listed above.

Damn right they will. Hands down, the alphamount is THE BEST mounting system available. The unit weighs less than a pair of steel rings and is strong as balls. I have never seen a zero maintained so well with any other rings.
