Iv'e noticed in the little time I've been here at least once a day someone asks for the best (?), mostly scope rings. So to do my part as a member here I've compiled the top 10 scope rings I believe are on the market today. They are in monetary order with the most expensive being the first. I also created a link for each set of rings giving every vendor that supports the Hide a spot. Now I'm sure there are more Scope Ring Mfg.'s worthy of this list that don't immediately come to mind so feel free to share them. Thanks

I only use two kinds; Seekins Precision for Tactical/Varmint builds and Talley LWs for Hunting rigs. They are the best value from what I have found.
 
Badger P/N 306-75, 1.0" high M40A3 (USMC) pattern rings (front 6 screw, rear 4 screw) 34mm, should be at or close to #1 on the list.

Also, all Near mounts and rings I've seen and used have been excellent quality, so at least put the Near Alphamount on the list.

As I mentioned, the order was made by most to least expensive(not best to worst). I also mentioned that there are more Ring manufacturers that deserve to be in the list that I didn't mention hoping members chime in with their vote so thank you for including Near which definitely deserves the recognition.
 
Recknagel ERA TAC mounts
Very very nice mounting solutions from Germany

Surefire, They are my choice as well. Just to give you an idea of how unbiased my selection was.

That's the mount I'm using with my Henny 3.5-26! It's one of 2 mounts I've owned that ACTUALLY returns to zero EVERY TIME!

I think the TPS rings are nice, but I do not like how thin they are at the clamp cut. I have since changed to EGW rings. They are the nicest rings I have ever had. The fit and finish is phenomenal!
 
I have been after a set of the Aadmount rings but they have not been in stock for a while. Emailed Jon and sent PMs here on the hide to n avail. Thanks for this list and input, got me looking at rings I had not heard of or thought to look at.
 
I am happy with my Burris XTRs. They've maintained zero on my rifle for something like 6 years.
 
Burris Signature Zee. Have held up to 375 Wby recoil for me. Allow adjustable cant. Leave no ring marks. Cost $50.
 
Brownells USA brand. I don't know who really makes them, but I have used 3 sets now without issue. Lifetime warranty - as if you will ever need it.
