WOW that is devotion!! I would be interested in seeing the whole rig and process. Thanks for going to the trouble of such an in depth post. The plum bob line is a neat approach. |

Nice rig; I have enjoyed your in put on this matter. I looked today for the rings and basses but did not find the signature rings in the DD configuration; but too I checked only at SWFA and not the Burris sight. If anyone happened to have part numbers I think med height rings would work I found the bases. The rig is a mod.16 weather worrier short action in 308 win. I will be mounting a 2002 mod. Veri-X III on it while I save for my Zeiss or Z6. |

Its a sub menu The gun on the left is a Model 70 and on the right a Kimber Montana, both Long Actions. I used the Leupold bases on both in part because Burris doesn't make them for the Kimber (or didn't then) and I like the looks of them a little better. Those are Burris Signature 30MM D/D rings, No laping required but I do try to allign them as close as possible first.

We measure it with a micrometer, mark it with a crayon, and cut it with a chainsaw.

Nice rigs I have had my eye on just that Kimber for sometime I wont it in a 7mm-08 as a nice do all field rifle. I called and talked to a nice lady at SWFA today about the Burris DD rings and basses in the signature series. They had just what I needed but I haven't made up my mind between these or the DNZ offerings yet. |

I have looked at the DNZ and they look like a nice setup, I just dont like rails in the way, personal preferance I guess. I see they do make them for my muzzleloader so I may have to give them a try on it.

I'm the same way about obstruction of function. But from the looks of the DNC line I think this would not be an issue; they are relived the base to allow for unobstructed bolt access. |

I have a set of dual dovetail Leupold mounts. I think they look great because they are so trim and streamlined.
They also are a PITA if you like to swap scopes occasionally. I use Talley steel mounts on most of my hunting rifles. They also look good to me. They are also very strong and because of the precision machining, re-zero quite well. |

I have never used Talley ring but have heard a lot of positive things here about their quality. I have how ever used Warne quite a bit and from what I can see in photos they would be hard to tell apart. Thanks for the post and NICE LOOKING RIG! |

I also have Warne's, a very good mount. They are sintered and then finish machined. They use an insert on the bottom of the rings for a recoil lug to engage the base. They are strong.
The Talley's are machined from solid barstock, 4150 I believe, and the finish machining is better than Warne. The whole bottom of the ring is used as a recoil lug to engage the precisely fit and numbered bases. They are stronger. This is also reflected in the cost. Here are one set of Warne's I have. |

Nice; what is your #1 in? Jerry at Warne just sent me a set of their tactical rings to try out. I was thinking of actually putting them of that 308 I've been working on but I'm not sure if I want that much weight added to an already heavy rig. They are massive in size and weight but would be a really nice addition to a in service field beater. |

I think ILya Koshkin has said some very positive things about the Warne tactical rings. Good luck....... |

The Leupold Dual Dove are excellent and use to be my preferred until I went to the Talley integals which I really like. |

I've used the DD Burris Signature rings with great success and have had no ring marks so far. The non-concentric ring kit even helped out with some off center base screw holes on a Model 70 an allowed me to zero my rifle without using up all my windage.
