Rifle Scopes Alternative to 35mm USO rings

[6Dasher]

Hi,

I have a USO with 35mm tube and their rings. Both awesome products! Due to the erek knob and very thick rings I am unable to see where the elevation and windage are positioned without sticking my head out.

Is there an alternative to the USO rings that are thinner to enable viewing of the hashmarks on both turrets?

Re: Alternative to 35mm USO rings

You should look at TPS rings. These are top of the line rings, and you don't have to pay top-shelf prices. They should meet your needs to a "T", and you have the choice of steel or aluminum.

TPS, Vortex, or IOR

seekins are the only ones i use Glen is now making the 35mm Vortex so they are also great quality.

Here's their 35mm rings on my Razor, they're very slim line. The big lump in there is the scope level, which I've since taken off in search of something less bulky for the exact same reason you're searching for new rings.

I ordered a set of 35mm medium rings that would fit my rifle perfectly. Backordered. No indication from TPS or the dealer of any delivery date.

HAHAHAHA Thanks for the laugh. TPS are the biggest crap rings made. You couldn't pay me to run them.

If you don't want USO, go with Seekins. Avoid TPS like the plague.

Badger Ordnance is supposed to be working on some 35mm rings, but I have no idea when they will have them ready.

Little bird said Badger might have some......

Re: Alternative to 35mm USO rings

Hmmm, I wonder if that is why my USO has Badgers?

Re: Alternative to 35mm USO rings

I have used seekins 35mm, they are great. I swapped to IOR because I needed a different ring height and I got them for really cheap off ebay (ad mispelled all to hell I was the only bidder bwahhahahaha). Functionally they work just as well but I liked the fit/finish of the seekins rings better and I think the seekins clamped more securely onto the rail.

As far as TPS goes I have a pair and they are great rings however the company seems to be either a really small shop or a bit disorganized.

Another vote for ARC rings. Extremely low profile.

Re: Alternative to 35mm USO rings

I think Triad has Badger 35mm now.

The ARC rings are intriguing, if not unorthodox.

Seekins 35mm (or Vortex PMR 35mm) are also GTG

I'll be getting ARC's for my new USO that's in the works.

Re: Alternative to 35mm USO rings

Badger does make two sizes of 35mm, and I Triad does have them in stock. More info:
