Thread: I need to learn about rings

My conclusion is that rings do not matter. The choices really only come down to aesthetics.

My reasons for this conclusion include:

* despite that scopes guns ammos get tested, I do not see rings get tested, ever.
* no one has come up with any good testing methodology for testing rings.
* I have used many rings, so long as they align perfectly, and most do anyway, I have never experienced any functional difference.
* steel rings are more expensive because they are harder to machine, but they are heavier and do not appear to have any functional advantage. Most scope rails are aluminium, yet no one ever complained. All modern scope tubes too
