If you're curious about scope rings I'm using Seekins rings and love them. They are semi-QD also so if you're moving things around a lot on the rifle they work well. The ADM mount is very popular and designed with the SCAR's unique recoil impulse in mind, a lot use that here.
Scope mounts optimized for SCARs
I called Sig to inquire about using their BDX scope on a SCAR 17s. After reading about SCARs damaging some scopes I was concerned that the BDX might be particularly vulnerable due to its electronic holdover/Bluetooth integration with the BDX app and rangefinder. Sig's response was that the BDX would be fine so long as I used a "SCAR-specific" scope mount.
Recommendations for a SCAR-specific mount? What does it do to mitigate recoil that's different (better?) than other scope mounts? Via google, I found that the American Defense Delta mount is specifically mentioned for SCAR usage. Didn't come across others. AD-Delta is a straight-up mount. Does that help? What about just using standard stand-along scope rings?

The Sig rep told me that the BDX scope has a lifetime warranty so I suppose I'm covered regardless except for the aggravation if it breaks. I've read elsewhere that Sig warrants electronics for five years but that did not come up in the discussion.

I agree that the SCAR ADM Mount is a great choice, I have two friends using it. I personally prefer the SCAR Bobro mounts. I have 7 Bobro SCAR mounts and have had numerous friends switch to Bobro SCAR mount on theirs and other monolithic designs. My closest friends and I all have SCAR’s, LMT’s and new Sig Virtus using the SCAR Bobro mounts. Best mount I’ve ever used. One friend has added a KDG on a 16. They seem nice also. For 17 I’d stay Bobro. 16, LMT, MCX VIRTUS, LWRC etc I think KDG May be a close to equal option for quality, return to zero and ease of use.

I use a Trijicon Accupoint TR25C 1-6x24 scope and A.R.M.S. #22H-L II Hi throw lever mounts. I've been using this combination since 2017 with about 3000 rounds of (mostly) M80 ball and 168g Hornady SuperFormance ammunition fired while this scope and mounts were attached. No issues whatsoever. I also use a 45-degree RMR mount with a Trijicon Dual Illuminated RM04 red dot since 2015. No issues there either.
I keep hearing about how hard the SCAR 17 is supposed to be on scopes. . . . Well, when I am testing handloads for accuracy, I use a crappy Weaver $200 6-24x42 bottom of the line plain crosshair scope and a set of the same A.R.M.S. scope mounts as I use on the Trijicon. I have fired in excess of 1000 rounds of ammunition from 110g to 175g and that cheapo scope is also still operating just fine. I also use it to test handloads on a SCAR 16, several gas impingement ARs, and a PWS piston 300BLK. NO issues. So, I don't know what the quality is of the scopes that all these folks keep complaining about that the SCAR 17 "shakes to pieces", but they must be a lot cheaper quality and more snowflake delicate than this Weaver target scope that I test ammo with. No, I'm not shooting rapid strings or full auto, but it hasn't exhibited any issues at all. Before the 1-6 Trijicon I used a Trijicon 3.5 ACOG scope for several years. It currently sits on the 300BLK. All still working just fine.
