Re: Upgrading rings
I think he's talking about the vortex "tactical" rings for $20each on swfa. if that's the case they look really similar to the Burris extreme. that being said the Burris are good starter rings but the seekings are much better but double the price. I have not had any problems with my Burris extreme rings other than the fact they are so wide they take up more room on the rail limiting mounting options. the seekings again are better and narrower. if your budget only allows for $50-75 then the Burris will do fine. if you have 150-250 to spend then do look into seekings and badger.I have no experience with those vortex rings.

Re: Upgrading rings
I think you would be happy with the Burris XTRs, I have used them in several rifles including .338 LM and .50 BMG and never had a problem with them, I replaced them with badgers and never notice any difference in accuracy, I have a pair on a AR that have been removed and replaced more than once and they haven't move more than 1/2" from original zero.
Very solid rings and hard to beat for the price IMO.

I have burris XTR's on my rifle and they are solid and beefy! Can't go wrong with them and I highly recommend them.

Re: Upgrading rings
+1 to badger or seekins. I have Badger maximized rings, and i love em. great stuff. my buddy has seekins on his xcr, and they are also very good products. cant go wrong. nightforce also makes great rings, as does TPS. food for thought.

Re: Upgrading rings
The Warne tactical rings seem to be pretty good as well. Also TPS makes awesome rings for under $100

Yea, I never seemed to be able to get Leupold rings to fit right on a 1913 rail. Leupold claims they work on Weaver and picatinny bases but my experience tells me otherwise.
If you're on a budget the Burris rings would be fine but I would try to scratch up enough cash to at least get a pair of TPS. Seekins, Badger, NF, ARC, USO etc. are all top of the line. I've had all that I have listed, except USO, and Burris doesn't come close in quality.

Re: Upgrading rings
keep in mind the vortex tactial rings are sold individually. 1 rings for 20, 2 rings for 40

Re: Upgrading rings
TPS puts out a quality set, they are marked so the sets go together in the correct alignment.
Get a quality inch pound torque wrench if you don't have one, that way you don't marks on the scope body.
