As to your original question:
"Are Seekins scope rings really worth the money?" That question = "Is this girl the right one for me?" No one but you can answer that question. "Worth it, or Best" are specific to an individual only.

Being obsessed with accuracy and on a budget are most definitely NOT mutually exclusive, I've more than proven that for many decades. Fixing problems that don't yet exist, and being on a budget are mutually exclusive however.

My $40 Primary Arms rings hold the cheap stuff, AND they hold my $1k scope. The truth is, of my two rifles that I shoot to a mile with; the one that gets used the most has the PA scope on it, not the expensive glass.

I'm glad you spent enough money on what you wanted to make yourself happy though.

Cheers
