Re: Weaver Rings on Picatinny Rail?

I ordered both the Signature rings and Burris XTR rings, with the plan to return one or the other. I could see both and compare. The Weaver style Signature rings fit, but the cross screw is smaller, the rings don't sit down on top of the rail (a gap exists - making the rings higher than the dimension quoted), and there is no loose clamp, meaning you have to slide the Signature rings onto the rail. I just did not get the impression they were as secure as the Picatinny XTRs. Still, the Signature rings seemed secured enough when I tried to move them, but it didn't look as solid as the XTRs. I really wish Burris would use the inserts in rings like the XTR!

Take some degreasor or isopropol alcohol and clean your rings cap surfaces, where they'll contact the scope.
Let them dry.
Get some 3/4" wide SCOTCH 3M tape, the good stuff and line the contact surfaces with the tape. You'll get the hang of it by taking one edge of the tape and butting it up to the scope cap/ring's edge.
Smooth/press out any air bubbles or start over.
Take an Xacto blade or sharp razor blade and trim away the excess.
Behold never having a scope ring mark again.
