[QUOTE="DakotaRingo, post: 3098611, member: 129457"] Burris XTR Signature rings are truly handy for 22LR ELR. At ranges in excess of 300 yards for the diminutive 22LR and to get the most out of EL dial and reticle hash markings, the ability to utilize more than just half your scope's elevation is most handy by adding MOA cant to rail plus 0 to 40 moa inserts in 5 moa increments rings. Having to hold over (or under) just did not work when age diminished my ranging internal calculator. With a 30 moa rail and 20 moa XTR inserts, my first FFP scope could be zeroed at 25 or 50 yards and then dial to 28 +/- 3 mils to compensate for the approx 525 inch drop of 22LR at 500 yards. Learning this years ago in my 70s was like putting a new lithium battery in my interal calculator! Also learning to get the installation of the inserts inside rings perfectly arranged, took me back to school. Then that 50 wasn't but 47 moa because the angle <cant> distance between front n rear rings affected cant angle and oh yes distance/height between centers, bore and scope meant.....blah, blah. Far more accurate than lapping and filing ever was or is! Now to see what I can translate to 308, 6.5CR, 243 and 6mm ARC before i get to age 90 with Burris XTRs. [/QUOTE]
