[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 741434, member: 39764"] I really have no input because I've never mounted anything with the(Burris) rings. I probably should go buy a set and fiddle with them. So I have to say, good luck. If they were so good, why isn't everyone using them?? I guess my concept is you rotate the insert to give an approximate inclination and the clamp the upper halves to the lowers, is that correct? If so, what keeps the tube in alignment in relationship to the front ring versus the rear ring? If you rotate the insert and clamp the rear ring, leaving the front ring loose and then clamp the front, what aligns the front insert? There has to be a frictional resistance as the upper half is clamped. In my view, that resistance equates to misalignment and stress on the tube and we all know tube thickness isn't that great and it's usually aluminum and soft as in easily deformed. Bottom line. it's your scope. I'll stick with conventional rings and a cant rail that I can align ring set to ring set, line lap for contact and never be concerned about undue stress on the tube. If I was shooting a hundred yards, it's not an issue but 1000 yards and every discrepancy becomes an issue and a potential failure. I'm going to order a set and do some fiddling to satisfy my own curiosity. [/QUOTE]
