Seekins vs TPS

[Vapor]

I just got an I'll fated savage model 10 .308 (probably going back to savage) and a great model 11 in .223. I have a great scope already chosen for both ,but I need precise rings and bases. The standard stuff just won't do for me anymore.


The .223 does already have two price steel Burris bases...so I'm not sure I'll swap.

While badger and farrel seem nice, right now they are a bit out of my price range.


I've narrowed it down to seekins aluminum rings and base or TPS steel

0moa for the .223 and 20 moa for the .308.


. Seekins seems to have an edge in both reputation and customer serivice but I'm not sure I want to go with an aluminum base.


Any of you have experience with either? Thoughts?

I have seekins rings on my ctr. No complaints

Is it 7075 aluminum? Cause thats stronger than many steel alloys. Even 6061 aluminum is pretty tough.

Yeah the seekins are 7075

Yeah the seekins are 7075

Then I wouldn't be concenrned about it being aluminium.

Seekins 1" rings were out of stock everywhere.

So I picked up TPS steel rings, and 2 steel pic bases with midway's $30 off code. Ordered a Vortex torque wrench

Availability always trumps all other considerations don't it?
Post rifle n' target pics when you have it all setup. Maybe discuss your process? I will be scoping my AR soon but I don't really have much experience with scopes.

I hate to admit it, but yes


I'm excited to not have cheaped out for once on my rails and rings.
