Leupold Dual Dove Tail rings and bases for 338RUM

Very nice....

So the Burris rings will fit into the Leupold bases? Some posters mentioned that I will need to align them first too, is this something I can do at home or do I need to find the right peice of roundstock or have it done?

If you use the Burris Signature rings, the alignment is not as critical.

You can put the bottoms in the dove tails put in the inserts and then lay the scope in the ring bottoms. You'll be able to see the difference between the inserts and the rings to determine which way to turn them more/less.

The Signatures only need to be close, not nuts on like the others. The inserts compensate for any slight misalignment.

Why do the Burris take a shim in the rings? Wouldn't that make it weaker and less accurate or at least harder to install and sight in?

As mentioned, they are inserts used purposely to align your scope.

Take a look at the Burris video here. Yes, I know it's their promotional video but it tells you all you want to know.

It's an insert,you can put MOA (angle) into the rings. They prevent you from getting ring marks, and mine haven't moved got em in almost everything.
