Nothing is tougher than Conetrols.

Have used Conetrols quite a bit, and one of their other advantages is being windage-adjustable due to the opposing screws in both bases. But so are the S&Ks, as were Dave Gentry's rings, which were also 1-piece wrap-around rings, as opposed to the 3-piece Conetrol rings, and hence easier to install.

The S&K and Gentry rings are also a little lighter, if that matters. In fact when Dave was making his rings they were the lighest STEEL rings available, only slightly heavier than the Talley Lightweights. But apparently his son Dennis Gentry isn't making them anymore.
