scope rings for fx m4

3 issues for discussion - heights, and cantilevers, and prices

Height - I'm looking at either a 50 or 56mm objective scope; it looks like the scope rail on the m4 would allow you to use any height rings, as the bell is well clear of the barrel/backbone in any case. What's the general consensus for most comfortable height? I have a typical head - not too long, not too short....so what's a comfortable height with the m4 cheekrest?

pricing - ring prices are all over the place - anywhere from $40 for monstrums to $150ish for Warnes, vortex and arken somewhere in the middle at $70ish. What are folks going for?

One-piece mounts - I'd think a one-piece would have better alignment, precision for laying in the scope. It seems there's a million cantilever mounts on amazon at $80-$100 ish dollars, but any that AREN'T cantilevered are $200 plus. I don't understand the logic to that.....

If the scope is over a $1k get a set of Seekins rings, also rings are better than a one piece mount as you can place them where you need to on the tube. With good rings, alignment is not a concern. I have 2 $2.5k scopes mounted with Nightforce and Seekins rings.

Like I said the $50 UTG Pro’s are pretty nice and align correctly, no ring marks etc.
