Welcome to Optics Talk.
Skytrash summed it up nicely. I've used and like both. Rails can be canted to increase elevation for a scope's usefulness when shooting long range.
Some would argue a Picatinny rail is a more rigid mounting solution than a conventional 2 piece rings.
The only gripe I have is that rails make loading and unloading via a bolt action rifles loading/ejection port a hassle. Especially while wearing gloves.
I don't know. I run Talley lightweight rings on everything now and don't miss the rails.
