Rifle Scopes TPS? Ya or Nay

[diderr]

I need to buy some 34mm rings for my new scope. Would tps work good, or should I just spend a little more on Badger rings?
Thanks.

What the difference in price between TPS and say Seekins. If the difference is like $40, I say go Seekins and forgo lapping the rings.

I like the hex bolt design better. It's more of a personal preference. I do see a lot of people run Seekins on here.

Seekins Precision or Badger Ordnance rings, all day, everyday, twice on Tuesday's.....

I have used both. They both worked. Used more TPS over the years. Never a problem. I do like the hex over the torx on the Seekins but a lot of people swear by the SP's. You don't have to lap the TPS either. They are matched. Always worked for me and they don't leave terrible ring marks either if installed properly. Plus I remember the TPS having a special way of tightening that prevented the scope from rotating. Either way you're GTG with either.

tps def a YAY!! i have 3 of them i like how theyre not matching height size with others like NF and badger. this way give you more option on choosing right height you desired. and more money for ammo

TPS- "Both Base and Cap of each scope ring is within .0002 of an inch cylindrical roundness, guaranteeing as much as 98% scope tube to ring contrast, compared to 40% on normal rings. The necessity of serializing or lamping scope rings are now obsolete."

I've had TPS rings, they worked great on my Nightforce F1. I'd say YES.

+1 for TPS they are good to go and do not need lapping.

I've used TPS rings on several rifles over the years. They are good rings. But I've found that I prefer Seekins.

Ive had tps and they worked fine never slipped but I wouldn't buy them again. Spend a little bit more money.
