So, protip with these rings... the instructions that come with the Burris XTR Signature rings (the ones with the plastic inserts) specify a torque value for the screws that clamp the rings to the rail (40-70 in/lb), but there is no torque value specified for the ring clamp screws. I called Burris, and they said 20-25 in/lb.
My findings, however, indicate that 20 in/lb may not provide adequate clamping to hold the scope in place under heavy-ish recoil. Shooting a medium-weight 338 WM, I experienced the kind of groups that can only (hopefully) be explained by loose scope clamping. I didn't re-clamp the scope until I got home (35 in/lb now), so I haven't confirmed that that's the issue, but I figured that I'd at least let everyone know what the manufacturer recommends.
