[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 1490032, member: 9281"] I don’t believe you’re following what I’ve just said. I DID try other combos of inserts front and rear and I still had the same issue. It’s not a pivoting type stress on the tube that caused the problem. Again, Burris claims this ring design itself eliminates the problem you just suggested. It’s a stress in the immediate area of the rings closest to the muzzle when they are torqued. Not sure if you read my original post on this from many months ago but I went into great detail on the whole process and where I ran into issues. In my opinion it’s a design issue with these rings...at least in the 34mm rings. The inserts were found to be very compressible and I feel that in this big of a ring the scope doesn’t have enough solid support keeping it round when it’s torqued down. Anyway, no way those rings are going back on anything for any reason. I’m using Burris’ solid rings which immediately cured the problem I fought for so long. [/QUOTE]
