Just bought a set of rings off a guy from ARFcom, he has over 70+ positive feedback, advertised these as follows:

"badger Ordnance high rings, 30mm, 1.4" to center of ring - $75 shipped"

I have never seen a set that wasn't serialized...so I'm wondering are these legit Badger Ordnance or some other type since they lack any identifying marks. They seem solid and are steel, but I just don't want to find out I paid $75 for a set of UTG or something. Thanks in advance to whomever can identify these for me.

They could be PRI rings, but I'm not even sure about that!! PRI, to my knowledge, doesn't make a set of 30mm rings in a height that gives you 1.4" from base to center of ring. Also, unless they have been painted, PRI rings that I have seen/used have a PRI logo on the top of the ring caps.

Regardless of what they ARE...they definitely ARE NOT Badger Ordnance rings.

Whenever I received my Nightforce rings from Optics Planet, they didn't have any identifying marks on them either. The box had a NF label on it but nothing on the rings themself. Looked just like them, so I just overlooked it and rolled on.

$75 is a pretty fair price for PRI's as well as Trijicons, but more so for the PRI's. However, I would still be pissed that I paid for Badgers and got something else. I would definitely make him refund my money, but thats just me. The PRI's will perform just fine if you decide to keep them.
