I'll be mounting a Nikon Prostaff 2-7x32mm scope on my new Guide Gun in next few days.

I already have a weaver one piece mount on the rifle but I have not ordered the rings yet.
I had planned on using Warne permanent low 200M rings but I just saw some Leupold PRW rings.
I just want something that will hold tight for years to come.
Anybody here have any first hand experience with these rings? Your opinions would be appreciated.

The only two issues between them are cosmetics and price. Your decision.

Have used both Leupold and Warne.
6 of one, half dozen of the other.
I use the Burris zee ring for low recoiling rifles (Marlin 336/30-30 or 1894/44 and below) as I don't like QD ring "handles" for getting caught on brush, clothing etc.
They are not QD rings perse but remount "pretty darn close" to being on zero without a range sight-in.
Of course these are not bench rest rifles I am using them on ether where 1/2 MOA is going to be a game changer for the intended purpose.
