SIGNATURE ZEE RINGS Reviews & Ratings

The concept of the adjustable inserts to use with the enclosed charts , can sight in a scope with just some reasonable effort. Any alignment issue with 2 piece mounts is eliminated. Dented scopes no more. The chart will show how many inches of correction are possible with these. Absolutely genius to those wanting perfection in a scope mount.

Every scope I mount are mounted with Burris Signature rings. These rings give a good classic look and are sturdy enough for any application. Never lap rings again.

These are sturdy rings with a nice finish . The self-aligning polymer inserts grip the scope securely without damage. You can buy addition inserts with offsets to correct for crooked holes in the rifle's receiver (yes, I have a rifle like that) or if you need a cant for shooting at very long range. The only downside is that they are not terribly slim looking but the advantage is worth it. The scope base attaching screw is now Torx style (several of my older sets were slot head) so they are even easier to tighten with the supplied wrench.

The rings are high quality and the plastic inserts protect my high cost scopes from getting scratched. Also the insert kits with 5, 10 and 20 MOA inserts really help if you need some extra adjustment to keep your reticle adjustment turrets in the center of their range. I use ZEE rings almost exclusively.

All things mechanical have tolerances: receivers,bases, rings, barrels (very few are actually straight). These rings are the only ones designed to allow most errors to be compensated for without large adjustments on the scope. Scope adjustments are most repeatable toward the middle of their adjustment range and also tend to keep their settings best there. If you have pretty descent rifle and scope these rings will help you get the most out of them if you take the time to set them up properly. If you just try to force things instead of using a drop of oil and your equipment is abused or worn out they may not be what you need.

I have used these rings exclusively for a number of years. Best set-up going when combined with Weaver style steel bases.

Rifle scopes work best when their adjustments are centered. With these rings you can use the -/+ inserts to sight-in the rifle. In my case I wanted more "come-up" for long range shooting so I used a - insert in conjunction with a + insert to give me maximum up adjustment. The included "L" wrench broke before the screws were tight. Ring and insert quality, however, seems to be better than the wrench. Standard inserts are included but adjustment inserts must be ordered seperately.

If your looking for rings that have a clean look without ugly bolts or screws this is your choice. Also of down the road you plan on moving the glass to another rifle you won't have any ring marks.

The Burris Zee Signature rings work well with Weaver-style bases. The Signature inserts make it so a person doesn't need to lap rings to reduce torque on the scope tube. Most people would be surprised at how often standard rings induce internal pressures in a scope. I've seen it many times when the power ring on a variable scope worked fine, until mounted in standard rings. Then it became very dificult to turn the power ring. This is due to misalignment of the rings. This NEVER happens with Burris Signature rings! The only down side to Burris Zee rings: When you tighten the screw to attach the ring to the base, one side is actually bent to hold the ring to the base. This makes it much harder to remove the ring from the base. Zee rings are for a permanent mount; they are NOT to be removed and replaced from their bases regularly. (Hint: Before you tighten the ring to the base make sure you put some oil on the screw threads so they don't sieze up before they are tight. Also, use a torque wrench so you don't overtighten.)

Burris is a well known company. I bought theses scope rings based on the Burris name. Boy was I disappointed to see they were made in china.
