I have gotten them from Burris.

 

[joshb]

Which ones are you looking for? I have quite a few extras I’ll probably never use.

 

[jonbearman]

I have gotten them from midway and Brownells.

I don’t think you can buy separate inserts for 30mm. I’ve never been able to find them. For some reason the 1 inch are available separately.

Maybe someone can prove me wrong.

The last 30 inserts for the Sig Zee that I got were from SWFA. Unless something has changed all that Burris offers is 10 which will get you to 20 MOA of offset.. I cut a old credit card as a shim under one insert so that I could get more than 20 for my 15" Encore.

I called them once about that and the guy got nasty. He said they would replace them if you lost one and called them but you cant buy any. I dont know what their deal is but i think tm is correct. i think they only offer them with the rings. what really gets me is with the sig inserts only come up to 10s and they have larger ones available for other rings. i cant remember which ones the 1'" inserts are easy to find extras. i dont know what the difference is. I am gonna hit Burris up about these this week at their booth. mabie somebody could 3D print these inserts for us-- have to look into that.

-20 and + 20
Could probably make do with -15 and +15 too if that was an option. Thank you.

yeah me to but the 10s are largest that come with 30mm Z rings.

 

[joshb]

I opened up the five boxes I have here. They all have +20 and -20 x 2 and +10 &-10 x one. Maybe they’re older ……..like me.
I received you PM. Give me your address and I’ll put them in the mail.

Crazy but none of mine are more than +10 and -10. Like the above comment, my take is it has been a while since they did the 20's.

Burris says they have to be installed in matching pairs (- and +, bottom and top) but I have often done a - in front and a plus in back to get 20 with two 10's. Just put a "0" on top for each and there's still lots of tightening room on the rings.

You need any of mine you are welcome to them.

They used to sell pairs of inserts as well as boxes of five sets of 30mm offset inserts but I believe they were 0.010" only. I don't remember any 20 thousandths 30mm's. There's probably one of those boxes still in my gun room in PA but if there's anything in it they're probably all zero offset as I used all the 0.010"s and put the zeros back in the box.

In the olden days the 30mm Signature Zee rings came with just the zero inserts and if you wanted offset inserts you had to buy them separately for about $10 so there was a market for just the inserts. Now they include the 0.010" offsets as well as the zeros with the rings so they apparently see no reason for a separate product.

It's something Burris would probably like to see disappear. The engineers who understood the offset in thousandths of an inch didn't successfully educate the marketing and support folks or the consumer that a 10 thousandths of an inch change in insert does not translate directly to minutes of angle. It's fifth grade arithmetic but the distance between the rings determines how many MOA one gets with a 0.010" insert. Unless the rings are really, really close together one gets a whole lot less than 10 MOA. This resulted in lots of calls to support and a lot of returned product as well as this topic being discussed on this site many times.

If joshb or CaptMal don't solve your problem Jake let me know and I can have the new homeowner go through that drawer and see what's left.

I might have an oops on my end. I have the tactical extreme signature Z rings.

 

[Coyotefurharvester]

Are the xtr(tactical) rings the same width/shape as the z's? My 30mm z rings always had just 0's and 10+,-.

 

[hogpatrol]

We've been down this road umpteen times. Call Burris and tell them you lost the 10s. That's all they supply extra and make for the signatures.

Burris Signature 30 mm Ring Inserts

Burris does not offer ring inserts for the 30mm rings. Has anybody altered a set of "0" inserts to make "10" or "20"'s. You would have to grind one side and shim the other. Just wonder how you did it? Bill

Can anybody answer as to whether the XTR Signature inserts are the same dimensions as the Zee Rings inserts ?

 

[Switchbarrel]

They are very different

XTR left, Sig. Zee on right.

'and the guy got nasty'. Was his name John? He talked badly to me years ago, I've never used anything but the Signature Rings'. A Burris retailer also said the 'customer service person' was a jerk. I sent a letter to Burris, but never received a reply. Bought many new scopes over the years, not any Burris.

yeah we have and i thought you said the tactical rings come with bigger inserts and they would work in sig rings???
