, but my favorite by far is EAW. This right here!! Love EAW's!! Next to the Suhler-style claw mounts, the EAW rings and bases are the finest out there, IMO. For the Ruger 77, I feel the Alaska Arms are the best available. I am interested in looking at the Near Mfg. Alphamount. This looks like a very well designed and rigid one-piece base and rings.
I'm becoming more tolerant of intolerant people.

Ah [bleep], do we have to have a favorite ring? Maybe I'll do like K did and break down and try some S&K's. 
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Toss up between Talley LW and DNZ. Me too. But as long as there are no dovetails involved I can live with most any of the others.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

DNZ, Talley LW, and Seekins. Most everything gets DNZ's now if starting from scratch.

I'm changing out scopes on my 338RUM which currently has redfield style base and rings. Ring height now is medium and I have plenty of room with the new scope to drop down to lows. As long as I'm buying rings, are there any out there that trip your trigger more than others? Depends on the rifle DNZ one and 2 piece and Talley detachbles are nice on utilitarian lightweight rifles and muzzleloaders Conetrols are nice on wood/walnut guns Sako Optilocks are the best solution for Sako and Tikka rifles...this learned the hard way.

They are as rare as hens teeth but the first Q/D Talley's with the single top screw are without a doubt my favorite production rings. ![[Linked Image]](http://photos.imageevent.com/lucky/husky/large/VXIII%20004.JPG)

I used Burris Zee rings for years with some Skotch-Kote to keep the scope from moving. I had a light 7mmSTW with a heavy scope that ate two sets of Leopould rings and would shift with Burris Signatures. The Zee rings and Skotch-kote kept it tight.
These days it's Aadmount rings on my custom 7STW. In my opinion, the best rings on the planet.

My favorite are the Burris Signature Zee's too. +1 for Weaver-style. I like the look of the verticle Warnes but not the bulk. I just bought a rifle with S&Ks and LOVE the looks of them, though I've yet to get it finished so I can judge function. I really like Talley Lightweights too. I have a set of steel Talleys on a nearly finished custom. Any Conetrol fans or reviews?

Gotta love the S&K's.
What a sweet looking rig there Bushy.

I find Conetrol to be great rings but overly complex.
S&K's are simpler with the same great looks.

Lots of great choices and I can't think of any I just absolutely refuse. I have used Leupold DD's, Weavers and stock CZ without any reservation. Lately I have recommended and mounted the Burris Zee's and the Talleys, then used the S and K's on my own - in that order.
Man- back in the day we would have certainly had someone chime in to say that all he needed was M1 type sights, or a peep, and he was good out to 400 yds and don't see no need for scopes yadda yadda... by now. :-)
