Owning three sets of the XTR’s I never considered where they were made , but your question made me go look for that info . They are made in china , sadly to say . But I honestly wouldn’t care if they were made on the dark side of the Moon . THEY WORK , as advertised , and better . I’ve shot over twenty thousand rounds under these rings , and none of my scopes have moved , or had to be adjusted .

I have these rings on both a “F”-Open rifle ,and a L/R Tactical rifle . Both are .308’s and I haven’t seen any scope tube degradation on either scope . Not even any ring marks . The inserts haven’t slipped any , nor has either scope moved , or rotated . Just exercise care , and follow the instructions during the installation . Take your time and torque correctly . No heavy-handed Gorillas need apply .

I had the same question as Aziz, but looking at the diagrams of the rings/inserts, I believe that the inserts can be oriented within the rings such that their front/back edges are not parallel with the front/back edges of the rings. The result would be similar to a heim joint, whereupon there is a semi-spherical insert in an internally grooved (to match the contour of the spherical portion of the insert) eye, and the insert can be oriented such that its parallel surfaces are NOT parallel with the flat sides of the eye. I know that the text description doesn’t make much sense, but if you look up images of heim joints, you’ll be able to picture what I am saying.

Wouldn’t this system of offset inserts put undue stress on the scope tube?
