[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 458394, member: 23486"] I use a Badger 20moa base & Burris XTR rings (6 screws per ring) on my custom 338 RUM. I don't know if the signature rings are the right set for your rig, I have used them a BUNCH & really like them, however the surface clamping area is a good bit smaller than you are going to see on the Night Force, MK 4's, XTR's etc. If I was building from scratch again (i'm sure I will!) or were to be asked for recommendations, I would definately recommend (base line) 1913 picatinny base ~20moa with the "larger" rings than the Burris Signatures for high recoiling rifles. This will ensure a very strong setup while mitigating the possiblity for the scope to "slip" inside the rings due to high recoil energy. If you decide to upgrade to stronger rings I recommend lapping them as well to fully benefit from their higher strength (while avoiding scope damage from inconsistent pressure). Hope this helps!
