I'm finally upgrading my scope on my Rem 700 280 after 15 yrs , will be using a picatinny rail. Scope is a 2-12x42 so I'm thinking a low ring should work. I've looked at several rings but just can't decide as I always notice a weak link or maybe it's just me. Any suggestions for some rings that'll look good for a sporter rifle and be trouble free?

Seekins “low” for your situation gonna be hard to beat.
If you're not burning through batteries in your headlamp,...you're doing it wrong.

I’d use Seekins low rings if you’re set on using a rail.
eupold DDs/lows have been rock solid for me though. They’re the way I go if I don’t need inclination. (On Remington 700s at least)
The reversible front will grant you good ring spacing if that’s why you’re using a rail. The standards are pretty short in that regard.

I really like Talley steel bases and Screw Lock rings. Right now wearing Leupold 2-12x42. I'm trying to break it, as I've sent it back once right after I bought it. Haven't had any other problems.

Excuse me but f the seekins. Remington has never drilled 4 holes in a straight line............ever. Enter the Burris Signature Z rings. with the off set inserts you can dial your scope in somewhat before you shoot a shot. over the weekend I set up a Rem 700 in 270 Win. I used the +10 -10 inserts to correct windage ( +20-20 were too much for this rifle but very common on Remingtons). I used the other +10-10 to add elevation. they never put ring marks on your scope and never slip, very light weight. No longer own a Burris scope..........but the Signature Zee rings are the bomb for mounting to picatinny or weaver bases, own more than a dozen. awesome !!!!

If your on a budget, look at the Weaver tactical rings 1 inch and 30mm, aluminium 4 screw or six and 50 cal rated. Awesome bang for you buck!

I'd go rail or these. If going rail Seekins is an easy choice. Either way I've taken to bedding them to the actions. For short actions, I prefer the Seekins. For long actions, have had good luck with the Nightforce pictured. Bedding visible under the rear bridge.
