Rifle Scopes Please help select proper rings.

Hello, I recently purchased this scope:

https://www.leupold.com/mark-5hd-5-25x56-m5c3-ffp-tmr-riflescope

with this base:

https://www.leupold.com/backcountry-cross-slot-remington-700-sa-1-pc-matte

The manufacturer recommends these rings:

https://www.leupold.com/backcountry-cross-slot-35mm-high-rings-matte

However, the recommended rings are unavailable in Canada, haven’t been available for months and no one knows when, and if, they will be available. Having them imported from the U.S. is an S-tier headache due to applicable regulations, most retailers don’t offer shipping to Canada.

Could you, please, recommend me proper, high quality, rings from a different manufacturer that I can try looking for? I’m mostly concerned regarding quality, and compatibility with the scope. I don’t want to just grab some cheap stuff the closest hunting store recommends, not for this scope.

I would truly appreciate some good recommendations.

Thank you!

The height of those rings is 1.09" so just look for another set of rings that height or higher depending on your rifle set up. I wouldn't use those recommended rings anyways. See if you can find a set of Seekins rings.

People around sometimes do not like Vortex scopes but their rings are good. From basic hunting scope 1 inch diameter rings up to 34 match precision rings, which is what I have used. Except for my Arken scopes, I use the Arken rings that came with them in the extra pack. They work just fine. Arken does not make 35s, as far a I know.

Here is a selection of Vortex matched precision rings for 35 mm and yes, they are worth the price.

I do not have MDT rings but I do have an MDT LSS Gen 2 chassis, folding stock adapter and SCS buttstock for my Mossberg Patriot .308 Win, naking it legitimately a 1 MOA rifle after 60 rounds of driving it like I stole it.

I have an Oryx for TC Compass II .308 Win, even though their factory synthetic stock was bringing 1/2 MOA after as much abuse. My rifles are not fine china to be adored. These are guns that I shoot. And even in practice, I will shoot as if my life depended on it.

Vortex PMR rings are Seekins Precision rings rebranded.
