Rings and mounts connect your scope to your rifle. So they need to be strong, precise and matched to your setup. Good hardware keeps your zero shot after shot, even under heavy recoil.
How to choose rings and mounts

Tube size: match the rings to your scope tube, such as 1 inch, 30mm or 34mm.
Height: choose a height that clears your barrel and front lens.
Base type: most modern rifles use a Picatinny rail.
Cant: long range shooters often use a 20 MOA base for extra elevation.

Rings or a one-piece mount?
Separate rings are light and flexible, so they suit most hunting rifles. By contrast, a one-piece mount holds the scope in one solid block. As a result, it is very stable and popular on AR rifles and LPVO setups.
Installing rings and mounts
First, clean the rail and screws. Then level the scope so the reticle sits straight. Also tighten the screws to the torque the maker recommends, because too much force can damage the tube.
In addition, set the eye relief before you tighten everything. Mount your rifle with your eyes closed, then open them and check that you see a full, clear picture.
Tripod mounts
Some mounts attach a rifle to a tripod. For example, a rifle clamp holds your rifle steady for long shots and glassing. Therefore, it is a useful addition for hunters who shoot from sticks.
