Already got a tracking #. Im sure its only been generated but sure beats Cabelas line of BS.
If you look up Contessa, these guys make some very highend stuff. Many of the top shelf items are well over $200 US. These are one of the few rings i can find in 1" that are picatinny only. Seekens 1" are Weaver/picatinny and $50 more. Same rings as the Vortex Precision rings. Now all we need is a vendor to make a good quality rail that dont cost over $100. Loopie BackCountry and Warnes both make rails for well under $100
Something like this Warnes is nearly perfect for Knights and its about $67 in steel
Notice anything wrong with the Knight Farrell base? I had them email me a pic since i could not find one.
I would have needed to down grade to Weaver 4 screw picatinny to get close to what i wanted and they dont offer a low. All other options were $130+ to get a similar ring or better. Other than just slightly too tall, these are exactly what ive been looking for. Only TPS and Contessa have rings similar to these (for under $150) with dual crossbars and only Contessa has them in 1" low.
$87 shipped was worth it to get almost exactly what i wanted.
Which rings? Im grabbing a 30mm as soon as i get caught up and SWFA has a sale on the fixed power scope i want.
AAD also has some crazy tough rings for $150. They are massive though and would limit mounting.
