sorry, I am going to start a new thread about this because my original question has changed. I am nearing the end of my mosin build, I have an archangel stock that I just got and I tapped a receiver scope mount. I have decided to go with just regular two-piece scope rings. I was on optic planet today and WOW, they have about 2000 different rings, all looking about the same, ranging from 5$ to 150$. I need something quality, sturdy and of course, will hold zero forever.
I am planning to use this rifle for 100-500 yard shooting, using a 9x scope. what is the science behind the height of my rings? I would like high rings just for aesthetics, but don't really understand what they do performance wise regarding height. I would think that too high may not be able to zero low enough on extreme long range, but inder 500yrds, does it matter?
also, whats the difference between 20$ rings and 100$ rings. I am looking at millet because they seem kinda mid-priced and seem o have a popular following. if someone can give me recommendations and reasons behind them, that would be great.
here is the original thread about trying to put my Nikon mount on the scope base w/o success, but all my generic three piece rings all fit on just fine.

anything wrong with going with a 1" set, and what would that do different than a 1/2 set? any help and ring recommendations would be great, thanks a lot. I would lik to get them ordered by tomorrow
