I know your a fan of the Burris rings with the plastic inserts. Do you use them on heavy recoil guns? I've used them on a .243, and thinking of a pair for a .444 Marlin.

They'd work fine on a .444.

Not Mule Deer, but I use them on my 30-06. They seem to hold as good as any other and less marring of the finish.

Thank's for the reply! I was a little unsure if the plastic insert would allow the scope to slide under recoil.

Can't recall the hardest-kicking rifle I've used them on, but would be very surprises for a scope to slip on just about anything.

i have Burris Signature rings on a .35 Whelen and a .300 Weatherby along with several lesser recoiling rifles and never have experienced any slippage whatsoever. I believe the plastic inserts grip the tube better than aluminum or steel contact surfaces of standard rings. Plus, they aid in alignment and don’t mark up the finish. Happy Trails

This goes way back so my memory is a bit dim, but I seem to recall Burris saying that the inserts held the scope tighter than conventional rings, i.e., less prone to slippage.
I've used them for years, and never had problems with slippage. Of course like anything, they have to be set up and torqued correctly.
This is strictly an impression, but if anything the combo of the tough plastic inserts and modern matte scopes produce considerable friction, making positioning the scope a bit tricky when mounting. You have to take extra care to make sure that the inserts are properly positioned and seated in their recesses. It's not a quick and dirty job. For me, the Signature rings are well worth the extra effort, and I use them exclusively wherever a particular rifle will accommodate them.

I have them on a 99. They seem like they hold the scope well.

I have them on both my Steyrs, .270 and 7mmRM. Never had any trouble. An added advantage of the Burris system is the availability of offset inserts to correct ring misalignment issues, as explained in this fuzzy old-school vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcRAX5OLtJE
