Used with burris xtr ii 8-40x50 - Burris Xtreme Tactical 34mm Rifle Scope Rings

I got the High rings due to the 50mm objective of the Burris XTR II 8-40. The rings are mounted to a standard 20 MOA rail on top of a Bergara B14 HMR in 6.5 Creedmoor. There is enough room between the barrel and the objective to slide the fingers of my hand. I probably could have gotten away with medium rings. I'm not sure if this height is a good or bad thing. After 10 rounds, the Bergara HMR barrel is so hot I'm wondering if the extra space provides a little buffer to the heat spreading to the scope. The Burris XTR II extends a good length down the barrel. On the other hand, I have to extend my cheek piece to nearly the top of its range to get proper eye alignment. It is what it is and the rifle provides the adjustment needed to make the high rings work. If I did not have the adjustable cheek piece, the rings would be too high.

After initial mounting and sight in with screws tightened to the user manual specified torque, the scope did move about 2 mm. I took the top half of the rings off, cleaned the scope and rings again, and re-tightened with a few extra in-lbs of torque and this time the scope didn't move. 4 stars due to needing more torque than specified in manual when paired with a Burris scope. That isn't a big deal to me, though.
