Because Burris signature is better for an entry level mounting system.

For 1" & 30 mm tubes,I always use Burris Signature Zee rings,they have always held tight and leave no ring marks on the scope tubes - plus you don't lap the rings!
On my 34 mm & 40 mm tube scopes,I use the ARC M10 rings. Best damn rings made,IMO. Just kinda pricey!

I've used some Zee Signatures myself, and there's not much better IMO when you have an alignment problem. I've used plenty of plain Zees and have no complaints against them either. I have found Leupold Dual Dovetails to be more than acceptable---very strong and most aesthetically pleasing. Leupold QRWs have served me well on one particular rifle that must have the scope removed to take the barreled action out of the stock. Common theme would be they're made of steel and none are on windage-adjustable (a.k.a. JUNK) mounts.

The only steel ring I've ever seen fail was a Millet ring.

When I use Zee rings, I always try to find a mount made of steel. The only time I can recall settling for aluminum Weaver-style mounts was for my 788.

Ended up exchanging my 1in scope for a 4-14x30x50 Nighforce anyone know which height Talley’s I would need?

Ordered the Seekins med-high with a Nightforce Rail base, hopefully that works.

Been very pleased with TPS rings. Got them from swag and they have been rock solid on multiple guns.

I have Conetrol rings on some of my "pretty" rifles that are blue and nice wood. Those things are really slick and low profile. Never had a problem with them ever! But it takes about 7 hands to mount your scope with them.

On my larger calibers and any with 1913 rail, I have started using the Leopold Mark 4 rings with good luck and service so far. Cheaper than the NF but seem to really hold up well. I just mounted a new XTR to a 338 Lapua and will see how they do.
