Hi all. I see alot of positive reviews on these online,but almost no talk of them here.the idea of canting the scope with inserts seems good.this eliminates getting a 20 moa rail for my tac a1 and the hassle i have read about removing the old rail.also 1/2 the price opposed to a new rail and rings.anyone have good or bad things to say?thanks
 
I also have two sets, both in 34mm. Honestly, I don't see why anyone would buy anything else in 34mm size. The only negative is the 6 screws in each ring. I swap scopes around a lot when a new rifle comes in and it is a hassle "that I' m willing to put up with" to mess with the 6 screws. I buy the Burris Signature Series for my 1" and 30mm size.
 
I have a set on my daughters Lithgow la101, a 22lr only because I cannot obtain a 20moa rail. They seem to work fine and are very adjustable with very good clear instructions.
I do have my worries about running those rings on a center fire rifle. The plastic rings just give me doubts about the ability to maintain zero and keep the scope held...

I run them on a 300 Norma with no brake. Believe me when I say they are solid. Ask my shoulder lol.
 
I'm surprised no one has come out with a built in shock absorber for the buttstock.

Every inch of shock absorption comes directly from the eye relief on the scope. That’s a recipe for lawsuits if I’ve ever seen one.

If the barreled action reciprocates without the scope, that’s a different matter entirely, but then you need to ensure consistent lockup and it just gets messy.

My half-serious advice? Add a few pounds of fat.
 
Ouch! That makes me flinch just thinking about it..

I run 230gr Berger Hybrids over 92.6grs of RE33, going 3050fps. I shoot that big honking 4 port Area 419. Making it about 30-06'ish recoil.

I honestly don't think I would shoot it unbraked... I'm not that brave.
Ehhh. It’s not that bad if you get really tight on the rifle and let it move you. That recoil dissipates very quickly when it’s moving your whole body weight. I’m only 6’ 180 lbs but as hard as it recoils it’s still not much of a match for 180lbs. But yea after 50-60 rounds it’s time to put it up until tomorrow. Prob for the best because I’m right there with you at 91.5 gr of 33 and 230s. That gets expensive fairly quickly.
 
There are hundreds of reviews out there. 99.9% of them are positive. I personally know of my 300 Norma mag, a friends 338 Edge, and my gunsmiths 375 Cheytac, all topped with these rings. Everyone is using them for a little added MOA.

We get out and run these boomers past 2k. Zero issues.

377gr at 3000fps and they hold tight.
