Burris Signature rings and Posi-Align inserts
Any drawbackso to these? I want to switch out my Talley one-piece mounts on my XBolt because I had to chase the reticle too far to zero in. I figure with the inserts, I can move the scope and then fine tune with a few clicks. I just don't like the fact that the scope is not as clear as it should with as many clicks as I did.

They are a great set of rings for what you are trying to do. However, make sure you get the base with the windage adjustment in the rear. It WILL fix your problem. Sounds like that scope may have been tweaked before. Is it a previously enjoyed scope, transferred from another rifle?

I have had no problems with either of them and have them on more than a half dozen high power rifles up to 338 RUM. 0 -
I sure like them especially when shooting big boomers where a slight misalignment in the rings or bases puts huge stresses on the scope, inviting a failure at the most inopportune time.
They also give you a poor mans elevated mount ability by putting a +20 in the front bottom and a -20 in the rear bottom. It cants the scope in the mount giving you a ton of free elevation.
If you have the patience you can set your scope to its mechanical midpoint and use the inserts to bring your impact within just a click or two of dead-on. It takes a while but I got one scope within three 1/8" MOA clicks of center buy turning the inserts in small increments.0 -

It was but probably not more than 50 rounds fired which started high and right. New rifle was low and very right.

That is my hope.0 -
The only time I've used this setup is to rehab a cobbled up D & T job on a couple of sporterized Mausers. They worked fine in that pretext. 0 -
I have used them on a Western Field commercial Mauser without any problem and they definitely help resolve having to use extreme windage/elevation adjustments to get your scope zeroed. You need to degrease the rings' inner surfaces before placing the inserts inside the rings. Also, degrease the scope tube surface too. I used acetone lightly as the degreaser with a clean patch. It helps to carefully read the instructions which come with the rings and inserts. Then set the windage/elevation adjustments at midrange (i.e., turn the knobs (not too tightly) from and to their end ranges and count the turns to get the midrange setting) and 2) use the zero(0) inserts first with a collimator to determine which way you need to go and what +/- inserts are required to get close to the collimator aimpoint. It takes a few attempts so don't overly tighten up the rings too much any one time. Close is good enough. Then use the scope windage/elevation adjustment to get the aimpoint centered in the reticles. 0 -
I have them on several rifles. Easier than lapping, and they work very well. 0
