What makes the Nightforce rings "better" than the Burris XTR's? Just curious from a customer's perspective.

Joebob,

Is that question asked as a consumer or seller of Burris rings as JoeBoboutfitters.com?

Re: ring heights????

I personally have used both the Burris and Nightforce rings and I didn't have a problem with either. I later sold the one pair of Nightforce rings and bought three more pair of the Burris rings with that money.
 
Re: ring heights????

The above mentioned rings are all good. i use the nightforce rings myself, but any of the above mentioned would work with a 308,

as far as what makes nightforce better, they are anodized aluminum with titanium connection points, which make them stronger than steel, lighter, and less prone to react to different environments. they also don't require lapping.

I, as a consumer, bought Burris XTR rings for years for guns. They seemed like pretty solid rings for the price and strength. I don't shoot beyond ~300 yards, and have never been into competitive long range shooting, so am not well versed in some of the "higher end" products. It was just a simple question. Its better to hear from consumers who use/buy products than read a marketing report.

Gotya. That makes sense. The price of materials alone jumps the price to manufacturer substantially. Titanium is also much harder to work with.
