When I was setting up my inexpensive Chi-Com scope in the "Inexpensive Scope" thread, I was a lot more impressed with the scope, than I was with the rings it shipped with. At best they were adequate, but not much more. The scope however was very impressive.
Normally my "go to" rings are Leupold Tactical in steel. But I came across these Burris XTR Signature rings, and thought they looked very good, so I ordered a couple of sets in 30 MM 1-1/2" high. Along with another 4-16X scope like the one I installed on my DPMS .308 Carbine.
I have a Rock River Arms LAR-9, 9 MM Carbine I thought I would scope. Yeah, I know 4-16X is a bit overboard for a 9 MM carbine, but I really like the clarity of this scope, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
These Burris XTR Rings really impressed me. They come with a complete set of offset inserts that allow you to achieve any MOA cant you want by simply swapping out the inserts. Plus, they grip really well, and will not mar a scope tube.
I changed out the stock rings with the Burris XTR's on the .308, and mounted another set on my RRA 9 MM. These rings come unbelievably well packaged in a dense foam lined, waterproof, rubber sealed, high impact plastic case.
Underneath the rings are packaged 3 sets of offset inserts, in + - 5, 10, and 20 MOA. You simply install the offset of your choice to get the proper cant. No screwing around with tapered scope bases. You can use either the front ring, rear ring, or both of them to achieve whatever MOA combination you want. The rings have 6 screws per ring.
They really provide a substantial setup, and while appearing very "beefy", they are Aluminum, and are far lighter than the Leupold Tactical steel rings. Here are some pics of the rings, along with a comparison photo of the rifle with the old rings. (You can see how much more substantial the Burris rings are).
The Burris XTR's have a dual steel on steel Torx Screw system to clamp on the Picatinny Rail. Where as the standard rings the scope shipped with only had one. I'll try to get a pic up of the RRA 9 MM tomorrow.
