Thread: Thoughts on Burris XTR Low Rings?

Hi Guys,

I have just purchased a new scope (Vortex Viper PST) and have fitted it using Burris XTR 30mm Medium rings. I have decided I need to get the low rings to make the cheek weld more acceptable.

As you can see in the photos it is pretty clear of the rail and barrel so I have room to move lower. My question is, does anyone have any experience with the low rings and whether there are issues with, what appears to be, a smaller clamping bar? Looking at the pictures online (below) the bar seems to be a lot smaller and also if anyone has any that they can upload a photo of that would be really helpful. I just want to see more clearly how they clamp and how that reduced clamp looks from an aesthetic point of view.

FYI the medium rings will be up for sale once I have fitted the low rings.

Thanks,
Ollie
