[QUOTE="Core781, post: 1697198, member: 106156"] I have an XTRII and use LaRue SPR mounts. I have installed enough scopes to know how much to tighten the screws. LaRue recommends 30 inch pounds. I tighten just around 20 and check for deformation as a rule of thumb. I have to admit I've never torqued the mount screws and never had an issue. The tube strength on the XTRII is more than enough for magnum cartridges. But that's not to say a cheaply made ring will not cause the tube to bind with the internal mechanics. All of the Burris rings are Chinese made, hence the lower than US made prices. They're not the greatest quality, and I really wouldn't consider using them on a high end scope. It's like using Chinese goflats on a Lamborghini.. You'll probably wrap yourself around a tree before the end of the day. If that's all you can find, you can Tru them by lapping but why take the risk when you can get rings for $100 or $200 to protect your your $1000+ scope? Spacers and shims are a bandaid solution and I would avoid them also. [/QUOTE]
