[QUOTE="Core781, post: 1697644, member: 106156"] I inspected the Burris Signatures, PEPR,Tactical, etc. The signatures were the best of the lot. That said being Chinese they are apt to have QC problems, and I was able to identify a surface issue on one random set of rings I pulled off the shelf. I could also see an issue with a PEPR mount I pulled off the shelf: very porous alloy on the mounting surface. (whether or not this would cause a problem is unknown) Burris newest AR Signature PEPR mount look like they are machined better: but the proof will be in the pudding. I think it's important to inspect the mounts/rings prior to attempting to install. Like I said any optic mount could be bad.
