What’s ur favorite rings? Varies a bit. I like Talley one piece for a lot of applications. I know some people report trouble with them. I've been using them for 10+ years on various rifles and haven't had any failures. When I do, I'll worry about it. My other main choice is Leupold dual dovetail. The thing I like about Leupold dual dovetail B&R is they seem to have fewer sharp edges to snag on stuff. I mostly use Ruger, but some Leupold, rings for Ruger ring/mount setups. I also have some Weaver bases with Burris Zee rings on Contender barrels. Couple of older Weaver base and ring sets for Ruger single action revolvers. The only thing I've ever had trouble with were some "std" base and ring sets with a turn-in front and rear screw which backed off under repeated recoil. In general, the closer to a ring + base being a single machined piece, the fewer problems.
Anyone who thinks there's two sides to everything hasn't met a M�bius strip.
Here be dragons ...

I have been using Warne split verticals for quite a few years and wouldn't consider putting a nice scope into anything else. Used properly, they'll never leave a mark on a scope and have proven to be durable and reliable. I've had scopes that have been swapped around and put into in Warne rings multiple times, and yet the tubes could have passed for new. This is how a scope looks after being removed from Warne rings.

Warne MountainTech, Leupold BC’s, TPS Alloys, and a smattering of others have worked great.

I'm a mountain rifles guy so I go lightweight. I really like the s&k rings and bases. Super simple and very light. Great customer service.

Burris signatures/XTR signatuires for most applications. I just tried UM Tikka rings for the tikka dovetail and they look nice, but I am just starting with them. I had two different UM sets that wouldn’t hold zero. The tikka dovetail is just too shallow. I’m sure for most applications they are fine, but a known good swfa was getting 6” horizontal shift with chest high drops onto hardpacked snow. Everything was tight and degreased. Swapped out to picatinny rail and volquartsen rings and groups stayed small and round with the same scope/rifle By stating that the dovetail is too shallow, are you also stating/infering that the ring came displaced from dovetail during shooting, which thereby effectuated a POI change? Certainly a 1913 rail and good rings is a robust way to secure a scope to a rifle. But I have UM's on 2 Tiikas. No problems. Additionally, I have used Sportsmatch on 6 or so, and haven't had a single issue, including some rigs that were intentionally drop tested.
