I've done both the milling route (rings and rail) and the Burris inserts route.
Milling is a ball-ache, coz it inevitably turn into a mill, test, mill, test cycle. If you can mill at home and have a test range in the back yard, all good. Work holding and job setup for getting both bases aligned and a consistent angle milled across both is NOT straight forward. Take off less than you think, easier to take off small bits at a time, impossible to add metal back
Burris inserts are a quick, easy solution.
If you do end up using repco/super cheap feeler gauges, measure them carefully with a decent micrometer, they are almost never accurate.
