how well do they hold up? im going to be mounting my first high dallor scope and was woundering if i should spend the extra cash for something else. the gun probably isnt going to get beat around and its only a 308.

There are higher quality rings out there but I run them on my 308, no problem. I had a scope go down from an impact and the rings held find. Placed new scope back in them with all confidence.

I have used several sets now with no problems. They seem plenty solid. If I competed, or depended on my rifle for work, I would definitely spring for some higher end rings just for the extra peace of mind. In reality, they would probably be just fine.
 
Re: burris extreme 30mm rings????

I agree with the majority here. We sell tons of them and they are a great "bang-for-the-buck" choice of rings, but they are only mid-grade rings. If you are building a high dollar rifle with big bucks scope, don't skimp on the two little items that keep the expensive stuff together!

I have used the 1" on my 308 with no problems, I also used the 30mm on my 338 with a nightforce and the scope slid forward in the rings. I think you will be ok on the 308. also noted were the cheap screws, get it set up tightened and leave it alone.

Just b/c they aren't. $200 doesn't mean they suck. Mounting surface is smooth " no tooling marks". I challenge anyone to snug tight just two opposite screws on each ring and try to twist optic by hand. "Here's a hint......IT WONT HAPPEN"
now tighten all six to spec, your glass ain't goin ANYWERE! I think for $40somthin you would be hard pressed to find anything better. And as far as the not low enough, I put a fixed 10 bushnell mil/mil/ on my barrett 99 and the small front obj. Was so close the cover wouldn't go on the front rail. It was almost perfect,so low infact,that I could not get low enough on cheek weld to get sight picture to clear up. Bottom line ...they work.I think if they will hold concussion/recoil of. 50,you'll be ok.

I have three sets mounted on a 223, 308 and 300wm. I have never had a single problem. I imagine customones slid on is 338 b/c it wasn't torqued to the correct specs. High dollar rings are way over rated.
