Burris Signature Rings and accuracy

[aussiepowderburner]

I am considering using Burris signature rings on a really accurate 300Win Mag Sendero to give me more elevation with the eccentric inserts.
How do these insert type rings stack up on a pure accuracy basis.
Are they tight enough to be consistent and deliver top accuracy?
thanks in advance

This is an 11", 6 shot, 1003 yard group...shot with a fixed 12X Leupold on a Savage in 300 win mag...in 15-23 mph wind,measured!!!).

5.5" black bull on a 25 yard indoor target. Burris Signature rings with 20 moa inserts.

The inserts will do absolutely nothing to the accuracy you already have.
They are great for what you want them to do..
99% of my guns wear them under Nightforce scopes, even the $4000.00 customs...

Jeff Cochran has won numerous big F-Class events, including the F-Class National Championship, using Burris Signature rings.

Thanks for the input people - I go ahead and order a set.
Does anyone know how Burris measures the height of their rings?
I have sent their website a query on this as well.

From the burris catalog
" Rings heights are from the bottom of the scope tube to the bottom of the ring "

Get the taller ones,High) like in the picture above of Jeff's rifle if you plan on the Weaver style. The medium one's are cut so the relief for the screw goes to high up, into the cutout for the shims and will break. You can take a pair of new mediums and apply pressure with your finger and thumb and they will break! Did it! Seen many of the medium's with a hair line crack in this area. Even tried to expand it to Burris with no luck. All they have to do is shorten the relief cut were the metal squeezes to hold the ring to the base and they could fix this issue.

kodiak,
Is this with the 1", 30mm or both

 

[Kodiak99317]

I know that it happened with the 30mm rings. The 1" rings I have not seen this with but it may also exist.

The issue is that the relief cut for the Weaver style is so close to the convex cut for the shims, there is only about 5 to 10 thou of metal left between the two and you can break a new one with very little pressure.

The problem wouldn't happen with Burris double dovetail bases, correct?

Correct !!!
