I know it's best to keep ring and base manufactures the same on a rifle but should I have any issues using Waren bases and either Nightforce or Badger rings?  Badger and Nightforce don't make rings for and A-Bolt and I don't think I can upgrade my glass and rifle at the same time.
 
Re: Rings and bases

Sometimes you can have issues, but if you are choosing some of the top gear you should be OK...usually

When you get the base just make sure the rings fit onto it ok. Sometimes rails are too big, but still in spec and the rings will still go on but wont be ideal
 
Re: Rings and bases

I know of another manufacturer based somewhere in Idaho that sells outstanding rings, and bases. I've never had any mismatch issues with their rings. Great folks to deal with too!
If I could juuuust remember their name...
