Would buy again! - Burris 1 inch Quick Detach Solid Steel Rifle Scope Rings ( fits Weaver - Style Bases )

My girlfriend wanted to surprise me with a Vortex scope last Christmas. She was in my opinion mislead by a couple of guys who worked at a large national outfitter chain into buying a Scout scope. I was totally stoked to see the Vortex logo when I peeled back the gift wrap but my facial expression must have changed when I read "Scout" because she immediately asked "Whats wrong?". I'm thinking; I don't have a scout rifle. I explained how much I love the gift but how it is a very application specific type of scope. Perfect excuse to build a scout inspired rifle!

I decided to try to mount it to an RAS47 with an Ultimak AK scout rail. (I know an AK isn't traditional, typical or even ideal for a scout rifle) At first, I utilized a similar set of rings from Warne which are excellent however a bit too low and wouldn't allow the magnification/quick focus ring to be adjusted due to the ridges catching on the picatinny rail. After some research it seemed these rings from Burris might work. They did! It was a bit challenging but with some finesse I was able to mount it with just enough clearance to allow the magnification/quick focus ring to turn while still maintaining a low forward scout appearance. The ability to reposition the quick detach levers was essential and worked as expected.

I have not yet evaluated if they hold zero but due to my experience with Burris products in the past I am confident they will. The machining looks great and the price is reasonable. I would buy these quick detach rings again!
