I managed to nab a used SWFA and looking to grab some 30mm rings. Lightweight is a goal but doesn’t trump reliability. I’m 90% sure I’m going two piece pic bases.
That being said, what gives on the cutoff of quality? Prices are all over the place. I’ve been leaning towards Warne/Seekins/Hawkins/Burris XTR. Even Warne has two nearly identical rings that go from $69 to $146 with no visible difference (one says “PA” with no description, whatever that is.) The Burris’ go for $70 and Hawkins at $144 as another example.
Normally there’s a premium on premium product. But 100% from Burris to Hawkins when Burris actually come pretty highly related has me scratching my head.
Open to other ideas as well as any “hey, dummy” enlightenment.
