I.rar Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Found a deal on a pistol scope for my charger now I'll need some rings. I see them for $15 to over $150 for a pair. Why are they so expensive? I know some have a quick detach and multiple screws to secure the scope in place but I don't see myself paying twice as much for rings than I did the scope. Any suggestions? Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted March 26, 2015 Super User Posted March 26, 2015 Take a look at Primary arms they might just have something that works for your situation...good quality stuff with out a high price. I have not been unhappy with any of there house brand products. Best bang for the buck in affordable optics, mounts and acc. out there right now IMHO. Quote
MDBowHunter Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 First thing to remember is you get what you pay for in most instances. When it comes scope mounting options, there are a ton to consider. Most of the real expensive ones are a one piece mount and rings that are gun specific, this is what I have on all of my guns. They are lighter and way more secure then a separate mount and rings setup, but are way more expensive generally over $100. You can pick up a mount and rings for about half of that or less, also you didn't metion what kind of gun this was going on. If this is for a 357 or a 44 mag or any other hand cannon I would suggest to go with a one piece setup, but if it's going on a 22 plinker with little or no recoil cheap will do the job just as good. ETA: Primary Arms has some decent stuff, but it's all Chinese made. I try and keep all of my guns and their accessories US made. I would look at the Leupold options as they are an American company and their customer service is second to none. Quote
I.rar Posted March 29, 2015 Author Posted March 29, 2015 Thanks guys. It is going on a 22 build. Good to know the cheaper options will work here. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted March 30, 2015 Super User Posted March 30, 2015 I like both Millett and Leupold rings. I've not had issues with either of them. Quote
