Dolphin scope rings.

[Nimrod1960]

Looking to replace some venerable but heavy EA 34mm rings on my .243

Whats the consensus ( as if on SD ) on Dolphin Ali rings ? They look reasonable value and pretty tidy.

I like mine, I would far rather buy a set from Dolphin than Tier one as I have great confidence that Dolphin will stand by their product unlike Tier One.

I’m impressed with mine, seem robust and well engineered, were not crazy money, happy so far.

Not sure Dolphin are producing them anymore so you might have to find some in stock. I’ve got a set of 30mm Dolphin. They are every bit the quality of Tier One. I also like Vortex branded Seekins Rings

Can you explain please?

I had a set of Tier One rings where the recoil lug sheared off because insufficient material was left between edge of recoil lug and bolt screw hole - clearly a design defect. I contacted them and expected to be offered a replacement set as they had failed in normal use but was told to go and whistle. My son approached them with a problem with a bolt (can’t recall the specifics) and was initially told to go elsewhere but eventually was given a replacement after getting a bit irate. Sadly I would like to support them but their attitude to customer service stinks so I now avoid using their products entirely as there are many other businesses that will look after their clients.

Thanks for the reply, I've had 2 sets of rings and bases and 1 rail, all have been top quality, but it's good to know both sides.
