So, I decided to install a scope on my 10/22 recently and ended up purchasing the Simmons 22 mag scope. I was browsing around websites just looking at other goodies for my 10/22 and noticed the price of scope rings ranged from $10-50 and was surprised by the costs of some of these rings.

I've gotten recommendations on Burris Sig. Zee Rings which cost around $35 which is a little more than half the cost of my scope already. Because of the price, I decided to first use the rings that came w/ my scope and the rails that came with the gun and see if there is any problems with it.

So, what are the benefits to these higher priced rings? I saw one that had adjustments for windage, but can't this be done w/ the scope already?
