Rifle Scopes Spuhr vs Badger Ordance vs ? Rings for AR-10 & S&B 3-20

[redhead522]

Hey guys,

I have a Les Baer AR-10 308 and am about to purchase a S&B PMII 3-20x50 scope. The only thing I'm still undecided about are the rings. I want a one piece mount that has some MOA cant. I don't care about Quick Detachable rings, so I'll probably save the $ and avoid the GDI mounts. That being said, which rings would you recommend?

The main two I've heard about are Spuhr and Badger Ordnance. I'm looking for quality. I'll pay a little more for a quality product.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,
David Richey

Thanks

I'm partial to Badger and have them on my bolt guns as well as my GAP10.

I have also used Seekins in the past which you might want to take a look at.

Good luck in your quest.

I've used many badger ordnance products and they are definitely very well made. That being said I prefer the spuhr mounts, I just sold one but I'll be ordering another soon. If you're comparing the badger 1 piece to the spuhr keep in mind the spuhr costs twice as much. With the spuhr you gain attachment points for accessories (I believe they include 1 rail section) and the bubble level although you can still order ring caps with various mounting options for the badger. The other advantage you gain with the spuhr is the leveling wedge, which makes scope mounting very quick and easy. I think if you're going to be running accessories like an ACI or a micro red dot or both the spuhr would be a good choice, if not you could just get the badger and save $200.

if you 'd like to use accessories and look for a great unimount,take a look at era-tac ,a german company ;you could contact them directly,they have always been very helpful with me!

Don't forget NEAR ALpha Mounts, I have NEAR, Spuhr and Badger and IMO the NEAR is the top of the line but there's certainly nothing wrong with Spuhr either.

You've also got the Nightforce unimount now in 34mm variety.

Are you guys running 7MOA SPUHR mounts on your AR-10s?

 

[GUNNER10]

Badger and 200 dollars in you pocket and be done with it.

Shameless plug here.

I've got a Badger 34mm, 20moa, 1.3" height unimount in perfect shape for sale, $150 shipped.

I've got Sphur, NF and Badger Unimounts, they are all good to go.

20moa here

Cool. I'll tell you, the guys at Badger are top notch. They've really helped me out along the way when I called them for things before deployments or schools. Mark LaRue used to do this, but seems to have gotten too big.

Very good advice here. Spuhr to accessorize, Badger if running slick.

I just bought my first Spuhr and that thing is awesome! It won't be my last! It is just so solid'

How is it more solid than any other set of quality rings?

I also feel the Near Alpha mount is the best money can buy. The Spuhr are also nice with the option of adding accessories. The mounts I run on my AR's w/S&B scopes are the ADM Recon mounts. They are QD, but still good and hold zero quite well.

I cant see how a NEAR mount is better or even on the same level as a Spuhr.

There is nothing wrong with the Badger Ordnance. GA Precision includes Badger Ordnance rings with their GAP-10's.

That being said, Spuhr all the way if $ is not an issue.

The Near is machined at higher tolerances using Titanium Alloy. Precision and Materials make it better in that aspect. The Spuhr is better in the aspect of being able to configure and add accessories.

It's all relative as to what you want.

 

[Spuhr]

Alpine, Higher tolerances than who?

As far as I am aware there is no manufacturer who actually published their drawings with The tolerances.......
So i don't have any clue who makes The mount with The highest tolerances......


I would be interested to know how you know?
