These scope rings are very durable. The material is very good and strong. The setup was easy and it fits very well. No issues.

These are beefy! I love the piggyback design, and the fit was great! These are very functional, and don't weigh a ton. The price is reasonable for what you get! I highly recommend these if you're wanting to piggy back a red dot!

I have a lot of Monstrum and they are usually 5-star. These rings mount an Arken over a 308-class rifle. That aspect has worked out perfectly. I had two issues with the RMR mount. On mine, I had to needle file the engagement nub underside of the plate to get a full fit into the channel. Not a biggie, but I was surprised.My other issue, visible in the ad (but I did not notice), is that if you mount the RMR plate at the 10 or 2 o'clock position you can not get to the clamp fasteners. In order to change or even just move the scope in the rings, you have to 1) Remove the Red Dot, 2) Remove the plate, then 3) loosen the upper clamp.Truth is, I toyed with the idea of 2 o'clock mounting, gave up when I saw the fidgety, mounted 12 o'clock, and have been satisfied with that. But if 10 or 2 were important to me, I would not pick this mount.

The Kimera design is one that I've been wanting for quite some time. Monstrum is one of my go-to suppliers for scope supports and these rings are no exception. Build is solid, with reasonably low weight. Finish is good quality and adjustment screws hold firm even before loctite. The RMR mount is very useful and about the most efficient and lightweight way to get an RDS setup. Recommended.

Just received and wanted to warn other customers as there isn't a review yet. The rings themselves are robust and well made. No stripping of the threads. The RMR plate however does not sit flush, at least this sample. The image depicts a lug on the underside of the plate that goes into the groove of the top ring half. Excellent idea, though both lug and groove have different angles. These would have been a nice budget alternative if not for that.

Really amazing rings, they are well built, the aluminum used has great quality, they are really sturdy and haven't had any issues using them in a 300 WM rifle. Overall I'm satisfied with their quality and I will recommend them.

First set of rings with the red dot attachment. I really like it. Quality rings and with the red dot on top it’s a solid fit. Functions well at a good value!
