[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 947010, member: 34084"] I assume you're still talking Signature Zee, rather than Zee. I would definitely check for slipping if I were installing them on a hard-kicking rifle with a heavy scope. They only have 2 ring screws, and they aren't very wide. Still, the rings are made of steel, so the ring screws can be torqued to at least 30 in lbs. I've used them on a 338 Lapua with no indication of slipping. Come to think of it, I've never had them slip, but I would not be surprised to hear that someone else did. I have noticed that the polymer inserts can relax a bit during the first few minutes after tightening the ring screws. I always re-tighten to 30 in lbs after waiting 15 min or so. When you have a boresight alignment problem on a lightweight or magnum rifle, Signature rings are so darn useful that I think they are worth a try. [/QUOTE]
