I hear you about the price. I'm prepared to spend on good ones (and I have many times), but I do appreciate that I can use $10 rings from time to time. If not I'd have thousands invested in rimfire rings! lol
I think the Warnes will be too long for this particular rifle/scope combo (I'm trying to get the scope moved forward to suit my head position) but Warne & Talley make good, if long, rings. I'm gonna look into both tonight.
The Leupold rings I have are exactly what I want, except that you can't mount them on most rimfires.
Still boggles my mind that they would put something like that on the market.
Reminds me of when Winchester designed the .375 Win to fit into 38-55 rifles. Just a bad idea from a company that should know better.
