I've been using Burris Signature Zee rings on most of my rifles, but recently went to the new XTR Signature rings for my Remington Police rifle. Compared to the Signtaure Zee's, the XTR's are much larger, heavier, much longer (ring length), and higher. Everything I didn't want. They are massive, but I'm wondering if all this strength is really necessary?
Has anyone ever done or is aware of any testing showing how much force or what kind if impact it would take to dislodge normal mounts? Are these massive tactical setups really doing anything or are they just for show? That is, at some level of impact your scope is not going to point where it did before (if it even works), so what is to be gained by having a mount that can take a much heavier impact?
