Rimfire Scope Mounts?

What scope mounts are you guys using for .22s? I have a new Athlon Ares to put on a new Ruger Precision. It’s my 1st .22 rifle since I was a kid with iron sights...I was just thinking the recoil is less severe that my 6.5s or .308s. So are there a specific rimfire mounts or should I use the same that I use on my larger caliber rifles?
 
Other than one Aero Precision mount ( to keep the total weight low) for a light weight 10/22, the last four I've bought for 22 rifles are Burris XTR Signature rings.
 
I got the xtr signature to get all the elevation I can out of my scope, the design would concern me on a centerfire but they seem like they would be perfect for rimfire I just got them a few weeks ago so can’t give you any feedback on them but that’s what I settled on
 
I have been using the Vortex Tactical rings on all my rimfire rifle. They are nice solid 6 bolt mounts and are about $40 for a set.
 
Using a spuhr
I've changed all my other to spuhr so I actually had a extra in the safe
Prob would have bought one anyway for piece of mind
Damn things are tanks
 
I don't have one specific ring style that I always prefer, it just depends on the set-up, but Burris Signatures are on more of my rimfires than anything else.
