Looking at the ARC Scope rings to mount my NF - no experience with them. They look good. Popular these days? My past experiences have been with NF , badger and seekins. Are they as though as the others listed. Any feedback on them would be appreciated!!!
 
They are the shit. So easy to setup, as you just have the one bolt. Never had any markings on a scope when torqued to 55 in/lbs. I have used every brand you listed above, and never had issue with any of them. ARC’s are all I use now.
 
ARC is all I use; they are the easiest to use and to set up.

Edit to add: on the M10 one piece mount; when you torque the two top ring screws down, you then realize you’re done. That was a great “ah-ha” moment for me.

I Recently upgraded my rings from Seekins to ARC m10’s. I love Seekins rings, but the ease of adjusting and leveling the scopes while in the m10’s is what I wanted. 2 bolts, no movement. You wont be disappointed.
 
Ted started making rings and mounts before he started making rifles. His goal with the rings was to make a ring so superior that having one would convince you to seriously consider the virtues in the rifle action he had in the works. In my opinion he succeeded.

Same as everyone else. I have arc rings and quick disconnect mounts. They’re wonderful. Ted isn’t a “me too” designer. He seems to take a fresh approach and the result is fantastic products.

I don't know what to say that hasn't already been said. ARC rings are the real deal. If you haven't had an ARC product yet, they will make you trust everything else coming out of their shop without seeing it.
 
I have two sets of ARC rings and they’re awesome.

Now if only I knew where to Find a good price on them so I could start changing everything over to them...
 
I have had two sets. Both worked as advertised. Also use Spuhr mounts which are great too. ARC are the easiest rings to set up. Spuhr just adds more mounting options.
 
I wish ted would inscribe a little torque note somewhere on the rings as a reminder. Even a quick little 55 somewhere. I torqued them to 20 once because I was thinking of seekins. Scope slid all the way forward in the rings
 
His current QD mounts are only available in 1.38" and 1.57". I'd like to have something lower (1.125") and fixed.

I'll probably end up with a set of his rings, but I'd rather have a 1 piece mount.
 
I bought an ARC M10-QD-L mount (1.57”, 30mm, 20MOA) from Euro Optic on sale for $199 recently. Love it, a real quality engineered piece. So simple, yet so effective.

Put on my AR10 to hold an Athlon 4.5-27x50 scope, and with a Larue RISR on the comb of my CTR stock it lines up perfect with the taller mount.
 
I think ARC makes the best rings (over Seekins). I prefer unimounts (NF & Badger) personally.

They'll all hold zero, but ARC makes swapping scopes between rifles super fast and easy. If you're set it and forget it, Seekins will work fine, but ARC set up faster.
 
ARC makes keeping the scope level while intalling it a breeze. Other than that i dont think they are higher quality than Seekins or Badger. Have all three and quality wise u cant go wrong with any of them.A buddy has APA rings and cant shut up about how great they are.
