The wide variety of scope mounting systems makes choosing rings and bases about as confusing as choosing a rifle or scope. Let the dimensions of your scope and the intended use for your rifle be your guide.

Today's a day of buy one, get one deals, it would appear. On the heels of its associate company Burris offering a free FastFire 3 optic with the purchase of a Burris AR-332 or AR-536 sight, Steiner has announced that it a free set of T-Series Rings with the purchase of one of its GS3, Nighthunter Xtreme, T5Xi or M5Xi riflescopes.

Leupold has added to its mounting systems with the introduction of its new Mark 4 IMS mounts for AR-15s (Modern Sporting Rifles), and expanded rifle fits in its QRW, PRW, Dual Dovetail, Quick Release and Standard bases.

Warne Scope Mounts has released a 40mm Mountain Tech ring set, designed for the Swarovski dS scope.
