Trying to decide on which scope rings to buy with an NX8 NF scope. I already use a 4 screw set of XTRM rings with my NXS scope and rifle setup successfully. Any reason why I should bother with the 6 screw rings? What if anything are the benefits for casual LR shooting?

Not really, 4-screw NF rings have served well on multiple calibers and DOD has used 4 screw rings on everything up to .50 BMG. I've used multiple sets of 4-screw rings and mounts over the years on various guns and never had an issue with rings slipping.
