Looking at a slight ring upgrade for the Vortex scope. The Warnes rings i would like are no longer made and the few places that have them still are $100+.
Weaver tactical 6 screw picatinny for 1" tubes are not offered in lows. I could maybe live with that considering a set is under $40 and the look really solid. Really would like an affordable picatinny ring. It fits the base better.
Burris has the Xtreme Tacticals in low for 1" tubes. It fits picatinny and Weaver bases though. They are about $20 more.
SWFA SS has a picatinny only set also but they use a insert for 1" in a 30mm mount. Not sure that sounds like a good idea.
I like the Warnes i got but i wish they were wider and the bottom 2 screws snug down the scope and the base. This can be a little irritating sometimes.
They offer a MAXIMA Horizontal now. The bottom screws only secure the base. All the screws that secure the scope are on top. They are about the same price as the Burris XTRs but not true picatinny. They quit making the Tactical 6 screws in 1".
I do like the looks of these and it would solve part of my gripe at least.

These are expensive and no longer offered in 1" or low. Might as well buy TPS or Seekens for what they cost.

22% wider ring body provides extra grip around the scope tube.
