I have used the Burris Signature Zee rings ever since they first became available, they are my go-to ring on all of my rifles.
I have some that are U.S. manufactured and some that are Chinese manufactured and as much as it hurts to say it the Chinese made ones have a better fit and finish than the U.S. made ones.

Damned Reds!

The XTR Sig is my go-to ring. I wish they made them in Low, but I make do.

I thought they are available in low now??

Lo mein?

Their lowest ring isn’t even in the same universe as the rest of the industry’s low rings.

Wi Tu Lo

It’s a Medium (1.00”).

What's the problem with Talley LW's ? I only have one set mounted on a .223 and although they don't inspire confidence as to strength/durability they haven't given me any trouble. The rifle shoots .5 MOA with them and has been doing so for years.

Flavor of the week......

Nothing wrong with them. 5 years ago, they were the campfire rage, now they suck. Lot of Reeds shaking in the wind around here. Combine that with LOTS/MOST who don't actually do anything but run up their post count and "bobs your uncle", Talley's Suck.....

Not inspiring confidence might be a downside for the pessimist.

I must have gotten lucky with my last couple sets of Signature rings.

Not luck, just old stock. (Pure guess)

Things went well at the range today. Getting my zero again was easy and I have my typical 3/4 MOA accuracy again - so my rifle again seems more accurate than I am as it should be.

All I did was take everything apart, cleaned all surfaces thoroughly with solvent, and re-torqued all my scope and action bolts.

There are two things I don’t like about my Leupold VX3i 2.5-8x36 scope but holding zero doesn’t seem to be one of my problems. For what it’s worth, I think the scope actually has very nice glass and it’s generally easy to get behind but I don’t like fact that eye relief varies a lot with magnification settings. And this variable eye relief relates to my other problem of the scope not having very much physical tube area to clamp my rings on - I had to get a full length rail just to move the scope back far enough to get the eye relief clearance I wanted.

Thank you all very much for the good responses.

What magnification did you select for setting the eye relief to your satisfaction?

Hummmmm? Two foot groups from, what exactly?

I used the highest magnification for my scope (8x) to set position of my scope for the eye relief. I’m not sure how I can actually measure eye relief but there is a significant difference when it gets above 6x.

My new scope position still works fine for my hunting at minimum magnification (2.5x).

I didn’t have any groups when I had a problem last week. Points-of-impact varied randomly within 2 feet around the target dot from a distance of just 100 yards. It was a real mess.
