IMO avoid see-thru rings like the plague!
Why?
My answer is simply because (1) scopes should be mounted as low as practical. "See-thru" rings make the scope sit high and make craning your neck necessary to get a decent sight picture. And (2), the likelyhood of a modern, quality scope failing is slim indeed, precluding the probability of having to resort to irons in an unlikely "pinch".
