I make sure both sides are equal and the front and back rings are equal too. Kinda hard to mess up with the Burris inserts. I have not used thread locker on the ring screws. Maybe I should?

I also make every effort to have the rings as close to center of the turret/objective, turret/ocular as reasonably possible.

I am definitely open to constructive criticism of my approach.

You might consider moving the rings as far apart as possible to minimize any torque on the scope tube from bumps, etc., rather than centering the rings on the scope tube mounting surfaces.



Correct and it is supposed to prevent the tube from flexing as well.
