Redfox Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 The optilock rings are some of the best, you can get polished blues as well as stainless, but the phosphated are fine and resist rusting a little better there is always the choice to have rifle and rings duracoated by Kaleiderscope on here in various colours etc. Redfox- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redfox Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 I have 8 sets of optilock and have never had them come loose or know anyone else that has. The Warne rings are far and away not the best design and I have had a set of those come loose, they also damage the scope as well. Like most things there is a right and a wrong way to use them , in this case tighten them. Sako make some of the best factory rifles in the world and their accessories whilst not always cheap are well made, the Burris "Signature Series" ring are a dead copy of the Optilock, not surprising as they also belong to Beretta as well, I have 3 sets of those and they dont come loose either.
