They work just fine and you can buy them from Brownells. Never needed them on anything but a 375 H&H RSM as the scope was short OAL and the action a true Magnum length.
Never needed any on any of my #1s at all. Perhaps if you have a different style of mounting a rifle or a scope with critical eye relief they might come into play.
They are butt ugly !
