They had a big sale on them a while back at Cabela's I think it was. They were almost half price. So I bought three setsof them. Never know when you have a new scope in the family show up. I have no idea where the best prices on the Warne Maxma QD rings are anymore. I sure do like those rings though. And I agree, when I can take the scope off for cleaning, it seems it makes it a lot easier to clean the rifle and scope.
