ok, i have some +/-10 and +/-5 inserts for you if you get the burris rings. used +/-20s on my FTR rifle and gained a LOT of dial. depends on how far the rings are apart, if I remember correctly if they are about 3.5 - 3.75 inches apart, you will gain the full amount.

i've had no issues with them, they seem to hold the scope tight.

Cheers EBF. Currently got standard rings Leupold/Burris (not sure) definitely on Burris bases with windage screws on rear. Bases are 3.7" apart.
