Tier One scope rings

[Biscuits]

New rifle, need another set of scope rings. Thinking of these Tier One brand Picatinny rings, which look good, but expensive.

Picatinny RingSets

Tier One Picatinny Rings are precision made on 5 axis CNC machinery. The key to accuracy in manufacture is to minimise the number of operations required to complete the machining process. By investing in new Technology, we have been able to cut the number of operations required from eight to...

they do have a built in level which is nice.
Any thoughts, or should I just get a different set half the price which should still be ok?

Sounds chintzy

Go Nightforce, ARC or Spuhr

those certainly dont look like $150 worth of scope rings.

for that price, i would just buy a set of Badger rings and be done with it.

I got a Set of Mounts from Tier One (UK) and they are very nice rings

Like UK version of Spuhr, at least the rings I have here. I did an episode of their podcast a while back and they sent me over some rings.

My experience seems to mirror @lowlight I currently have their long saddle 6 mil mount and really like it. I just ordered a set of the picatinny rings as the OP asked about. I believe their quality is right there with any other top brand.

Anything but “chintzy” machining and overall quality is every bit the measure of other premium rings. Have two sets of their 11mm dovetail rings; > or = Spuhr, Seekins, Nightforce, ARC... all of which I have or have had. Side note: mine also came with the appropriately sized torx bit(s). Not that big of a deal for me, but with the number of threads that have been posted lately by guys who stripped torx fasteners on their rings/mounts using the wrong sized bits ( Should they really be wrenching on things that go bang...? ) might be a plus for some !

Tier One or IFM scope rings are first class. I have a set of IFM's on my Tangent Theta. They give nothing up. I'm looking at Tier One's bipod but I'm having a hard time finding a real fault with the LRA's that I have to justify it.

The ARC one peice and two have worked great for me. A plus is they dont leave marks on my scopes like others.
