going to be putting a nikon 4x12x40 bdc scope on my savage model 10 and was wanting to get suggestions for good scope rings for it. also is it worth getting quick release rings to move it to another gun if yes what type or make would you suggest. thanks for your input,

I have tried different rings and have had a couple failures. I've also had the scope ring move between ring and mount. As for moving it from one gun to another, that is possible only if each gun has the same spacing for the bases. Moving from gun to gun you would still most likely have to re-sight it in.
I have the alignment and installation tool, so I try to strictly use dual dovetail mounts/rings. If something is a hair out of whack, the Burris Signature Rings with the plastic offset inserts will help ease any scope binding or tweaking, eliminating the need to shim bases or lap rings.

I could see QD's on something like an AR; otherwise don't really see the point; putting it on another gun it's going to have to be zeroed all over again. I've had good luck with the Warne rings. I have had to use esshup's Burris's one time and if you have a problem they do work.

Esshup is right. There is more to properly mounting a scope than tightening screws. Even high quality rings must aligned and lapped to prevent damage to the scope and movement under recoil. I also recommend the Burris Signature rings. The inserts ensure proper alignment.
I wouldn't recommend QDs for the purpose of moving between rifles. The spacing will probably be different and the zero certainty will be.

The spacing will probably be different and the zero certainty will be. I've got a lapping kit for 1" and 30mm, alignment tools for both and a 1" reamer that will speed up the lapping process for problem rings. BUT, I had a set of one piece Tally base/rings that were so far out of whack sideways that I had 5 clicks left before I ran out of adjustment at 100 Yds. Nothing to do about that, I called them and sent 'em back. They replaced them no questions asked. In the maantime I put Leupold Dual Dovetails on it and never swapped them out. I cringe when I see a guy try to turn in a dual dovetail ring with the scope.....

I went with the Rock River Arms cantilevered one piece ring for my AR15. I swap a Nikon 4x16x42 Scope out for a EOTech HS1 system which also have quick release base on it. I keep the optics off the rifle until I get to the range to shoot. If I can figure out the right spot on the Picitinnay rail to mount them they keep their zero pretty close. But when I added some Magpul Back up sights to my AR15 it moved everything else forward and then I ran into the area where the hand guards picitinny rail meet the rail on my gun's receiver. There is an area where they don't match up right and the groove in the rail is missing in this area. So I have to mount either before or after this spot. That messes things up.
