Do the Warne tactical rings only differ in that they have three screws at the top of the ring? Any other differences besides the price?
cowtownup,
Level the gun in a vise, level the scope loose in the rings, tighten ring bolts in an x pattern to 25 in lbs with thread locker, monitor the leveling as you go. What specific trouble are you having?

I think the tactical rings are Picatinny style only.......meaning they will work on a Picatinny mount, but not a Weaver style. The regular rings are Weaver style. Weaver style will work on a Picatinny or Weaver style base. It is because the spacing on the Weaver is a bit narrower than Picatinny. I don't think the Warne Tactical rings are offered in a low version either. I've never found the need to use the tactical rings, but I do like to use Picatinny style rails because it offers more flexibility when mounting the scope.
You're right Nic. They aren't offered in a low version. I guess they're definitely meant for mounting on an AR in that case. I would think however, that for three times the price there must be something else different about them. Doesn't matter though. I have the standard version on order from Amazon, but they're out of stock right now.
I can't tell you why, but for some reason, Picatinny style rings are always more expensive. I use the Warne Weaver style rings in Ultra High on all my scoped AR-15s, and they are not as expensive as Warne's Tactical type. (Yeah, Warne also makes Weaver type rings for the AR too.) I might consider the Tactical style on a heavy kicking caliber, which I don't shoot, or if the price was better. Otherwise the Weaver style works just fine.
They are just more cumbersome to mount. I like being able to set a scope down in a set of rings... Its just easier IMO...
