Interesting, and they do look nice.

But what makes them better than, say, Burris XTR Xtreme Tactical Rings?

I wouldn't know except for mounting them is cake. I would feel more confident with them just because they seem better quality. As far as strength? I dont know. LoneWolf has more of an idea then I do. I was just between these, badger, and a couple others. These won.

(http://s1281.photobucket.com/user/PJ0527/media/Transitions%20Stage_zpsmxgfr3iu.jpg.html)They do everything stated below.



QD pivoting rail clamp is faster and holds tighter than levers while accommodating variations in rail size without the need for adjustment.
Crowned rail interface for precise return to zero.
Recoil proof grip that will not mar or indent the scope tube.
With only one rail clamp screw and one scope clamp screw per ring, installation is quick and easy, and retical alignment is preserved while tightening screws.
Single recoil slot engagement and 0.83” (21mm) ring width offers greater eye-relief adjustment.
CNC machined from high-strength, light-weight 7075 aluminum.
Anodized per Mil-A-8625 Type III (hardcoat).
All stainless steel hardware including high-strength 410 stainless rail clamp screw.
Recommended torque for both rail clamp and scope clamp screws is 50-55 in-lbs (5.6-6.2 Nm).
M10 Rings are available in 1", 30, 34, 35, and 40mm diameters in heights ranging from 20 to 36mm.
M10 QD-L Mounts are available in 30, 34, and 35mm diameters, 35 and 40 mm heights, and inclinations rangining from 0 to 40 MOA.
Height is the distance between the top of the rail and the center of the scope ring.

One change to that...my rings came with a sheet stating 65 in-lbs for all screws. Maybe they changed?

[LoneWolf]

I run 55 in-lbs on mine without issue.

No doubt, I just wondered if you went off spec or if maybe I got something different then what I meant to get.

[LoneWolf]

Mine are for a 34mm tube, so I don't know if that makes a difference at all. The greater surface area may require less torque. If you think about it though 12 screws at 15 in-lbs a piece is 180 in-lbs.

12 screws...what do you mean? Cap screws?
Most I've seen is 6 which would still be 90 in lb but that's spread over a greater area. The actual clamping force could vary.

Due to the design of ARC, pressure could potentially be much greater because you are not putting direct force downward onto scope. The rings are technically "ramping" onto the tube. It would be an interesting test.

[LoneWolf]

You could email Ted Karagias of ARC and he would explain it all to you. He designs everything with a particular reason and tunes it till it's perfect. Dudes a **** genius.

[LoneWolf]

He's probably already tested your theory and proved it wrong honestly.

Probably :). It would not be a bad thing though. You could use less torque (smaller screws) and have more holding power. It dont matter though, I like the rings and they seemed like they were held tight without even tightening the screws down. Its like there was an instant grip on the scope with a quarter turn of the screw.
