The type of rings you use on a crossbow doesn't really matter as long as they're not from the dollar store. Those who're rough on their gear or want something that looks nicer might want to opt for higher quality rings, but for the majority of people any ring from decent manufacturers will suffice.

For crossbows it basically comes down to personal preference...

I have the Nikon Bolt on my Exocet 200 and Matrix 355 and for both I use the (LOW) Leupold PRW rings in black matte finish. They work fantastic and are rock solid. They are a little more expensive at $60.00 a set but well worth it!

Big fan of the Warne mounts (pics in this thread already). I have the quick detach version on my Encore and they are excellent and very reproducible when removed and replaced.

If something is going to fail on a crossbow, it's a good bet that it won't be the rings, whether it is stock Excalibur stuff or some more expensive brand.

If you buy rings because you prefer their appearance, there's nothing wrong with that. It's your money so it's your choice.

Just remember, you aren't mounting a scope on a 460 Weatherby magnum.

It's only a crossbow.
