Ordered one today… will be pairing it with Burris XTR signature rings that are pretty high even in the lows, so low profile will be a good thing.

Quick follow up. It arrived today, and I'm really happy with it. The recoil pin is nice and tight. As has been said, it's really low profile. For the price it's a no brainer.

@Formidilosus The benefits I see of the SRS rail over the UM rings 20 MOA and eye relief flexibility, which I can appreciate, but does adding a separate base increase the chance for zero retention issues? ie if neither of these two benefits apply to my setup, would you immediately recommend the UM rings? Or is it a wash at that point from a zero retention standpoint (assuming proper torque and loctite)?

Yes it does. Mitigated/removed for all functional purposes by binding the rail to the action (Loctite 380).

Yes. If I didn’t require inclination, or pic rings- UM direct rings are the way.
