I also happen to have a spare set of 30mm low rings in the cupboard if you would like to save some money on buying new ones?

Thanks everyone really appreciated all the advice looks like I'll be going for Talley's.

Steelisreal I'm glad to hear that, buying a scope worth twice as much as my rifle had me a little nervous. Now to find some ammo to sight it in.
