Although this will primarily be a deer hunting rifle, I plan on trying to learn some long range shooting with it (not that I am going to shoot deer at any large distances). So hopefully I get a base and rings that will squeeze all of the accuracy out of my scope and rifle that I can. That is why the burris rings are looking pretty good to me as of right now.
Thanks guys,

In the case of the Signature Zee rings. The insert outside surfaces are conversw and the steel outer rings inside surface are concave. The inserts lock into the outer rings and the mating concave/convex surfaces are what allow them to gimbal and align with the mount and scope body without lapping. I have them on a 300 Win Mag, 450 Bushmaster, Wicked Mossberg 500 with rifled barrel what kicks like a mule. (I call her Francis), a Remington 700 in .30-06 to name a few. none of those sets have allowed the scope bodies to slide in them as long as you torque them to spec. The biggest point is that they protect the finish on your scope bodies from marring or scratching.
There are merits to integral one piece ring sets which after lapping, can be moved from rail to rail without having to re-lap. If I didn't have all these Sig Zees, those are what I'd have.
