The Burris 420162 Xtreme Tactical Rings deliver rock-solid scope mounting for precision shooters demanding reliable zero retention. These medium-height rings accommodate 30mm scope tubes on Picatinny and Weaver rail systems with superior clamping force distribution. Built from aircraft-grade aluminum with a non-reflective matte black finish, they maintain zero through heavy recoil and extreme conditions.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard steel rings that can mark scope tubes, the Burris Xtreme Tactical design uses precision-machined aluminum construction with optimized contact surfaces. The four-screw cap design distributes clamping pressure evenly across the scope tube, preventing deformation while maintaining secure hold. Each ring features a split-ring design that accommodates slight manufacturing variations in scope tubes without compromising grip strength.
Key Features
- 30mm tube diameter with medium height clearance for standard objective lenses
- Aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum construction weighs 3.2 ounces per pair
- Four-screw cap design with 18 inch-pounds torque specification
- Picatinny and Weaver rail compatibility with cross-slot mounting
- Matte black anodized finish eliminates glare and resists corrosion
- Precision-machined contact surfaces prevent scope tube marking
- Split-ring design accommodates tube diameter variations
Field testing demonstrates consistent zero retention through magnum cartridge recoil cycles and temperature extremes from -20°F to 140°F. The medium height provides proper scope alignment for most rifle configurations while clearing standard barrel profiles and gas blocks. Competition shooters rely on these rings for match-grade accuracy requirements, while tactical applications benefit from the lightweight yet robust construction that withstands hard use.
