Why not buy the Arken HALO rings? They're actually pretty damn good rings for the money...I have several sets, and a couple of my SH4's are sitting in some. I think they're like $60. Just make sure you go by the torque specs, and don't go more than 5 in-lbs. over spec.
What are you putting it on?
I actually had $50 dollars in rewards points from Arken so im going to get a set of halos for $24 bucks. I think I'll use those and save for some seekins rings. Seekins seems to be the general consensus around here, so I'll listen.
That's a good plan. Definitely save up for the Seekins... You won't regret those. They're built like a tank, and their alignment tolerances are so close, you don't need to lap them if you use a good 1-piece base, like the EGW (Evolution Gun Works) HD bases. Those are the bases I use on all my rifles, as well.

Wow, those bases are well priced. Think i'm going to put the scope on an AR and save the seekins for the defiance tenacity action.That's a good plan. Definitely save up for the Seekins...

I run one of my SH4 Gen2 6-24x50 scopes on my custom 6.5 Grendel DMR build. I'm using the Arken 20MOA 1-piece AR mount. Works great.
Ha! I'm going to try this scope on my 6.5 grendel as well. Question. Would that center dot on the Arken cover up a 1/4 bullseye? Might try using it for load development. Going to try an OCW test next week.
Works good for me... I shoot small 2" and 3" Shoot-N-See targets with small orange bullseyes for load development groups without any issues.
Good stuff. What bullet you using? I'm still trying to figure out a load. Been using H335 with 120eldm. Going to try some 95 grain VMAX with that powder. Hopefully it'll tighten the groups up.Completely coincidence, but the 6.5 Grendel shot it’s best group after I swapped that Arken on there… I’d say I’ve gotten my handloads figured out for this one.
