I tried 2 sets on a 300 Weatherby and a 375 H&H Model 70. Both slipped and wouldn't hold zero. I tightened them with a calibrated inch pound torque wrench and installed them correctly and they still slipped. They also don't have a recoil stop pin that will allow them to be taken off and return to zero. They also can scratch your scope which Optilocks don't do. They can mount a scope lower than Optilocks which is maybe their only advantage other than cost.
I have 1 set left on a 223 for for a light recoiling rifle they will be OK, until I get around to replacing them with Optilocks.......................DJ
