i like burris insert rings, they now make a heavy duty tactical set.
they never damage the tube and allow tilting for elevation adjustment.
i have the tactical 6 screw on my 300 win mag with a 5.5-22 nf
here is midways listing

If you decide to use Burris insert rings and you’r base or front base extend over the front of you’r receiver make sure to use steel. A while back I put a 375 Rem ultra mag to gather on a rem 700 using these rings with weaver aluminum bases. The front base extended a short distance beyond the front of the receiver. Customer came back a short time later and claimed he had run out of adjustments and was shooting into the ground a few feet in front of his bench. It didn’t take an MIT graduate to figure out what had happened. The recoil was severe enough to bend up the unsupported part of the front base as the ring inserts acted like a couple of ball joints. Put steel bases on an problem was solved.

Maybe I didn’t make myself clear. It would have made no difference the material of the rings. The unsupported aluminum section of front base with the ball joint action of the inserts made for the perfect storm. A steel base would not have allowed this to happen. In other words base material would not have been a concern with out the ball joint action of the Burris inserts. In a lower recoil rifle this problem would not have existed.
well not you have me confuse( easy to do some days)
it was ALLOWED because of the burris insert ring ??
wow

Martin, I'm with you.
Most folks have never dealt with a 3-5lb scope on top of a rifle generating 7-10,000 0r even on some of mine 15,000lb KE
Swivels are NOT your friend although Charlie's AL swivelers will hold twice't as much as them plastic Burris things..... I've had to use Hysol Epoxy inside degreased/lapped 3-screw rings before on hunting rifles
It's like when you start running BIG fish, strapped in and 30lb drag pressure that'll lift a 250lb man up on the rail and you learn what a Bimini Twist is because ya HAVE to, normal stuff just doesn't get 'er done.
To the op, that Rem 300WM will be well served by either choice you've mentioned. Absolutely no issues. I would lap them, but I put that !ap on ever'thang

I've got a set of finely machined rings with a ball-n-socket style swivel that I REMEMBER as being made by Charlie Hood.... I was really into stress-free scope mounting at the time and had some enlightening convos with him......He was also making rings where the rear one was a rubber insert so that the scope was unaffected by the action stretch connected with temperature change.
This all occurred in the absolute infancy of the scope freezing era when everyone was looking for a way to get a scope, ANY scope to hold zero and I got hands on all sorts of flex mounts.
Never did though manage to get a set with the rubber rear ring, still pi$$es me off
Maybe Charlie will come on to confirm/deny
Schucks, maybe he'll come on to let me know he found me some rubbers......
well i have a 300 win mag running 230 bergers at 2900 fps in a 26" bbl.
i use the rings listed and have the larger/heavier version of the scope he has( mine is the 56mm vs his 50)
i have no issues, no failures. consistent hits at one mile.
my opinion based on my experience is the rings will work.
side benefit, no lapping, no ring marks

I had this issue
with a couple of Handi Rifles I had years ago. The overhanging base would bend with each shot, never mind leaning the rifle against something. Neither one of them shot well enough to keep so they moved on.

You may be thinking about the aluminum live center gimble ball rings made by Arnold Jewell.
I believe the rubber insert ones were made by Gene Bukys...and maybe others.
Good shootin'.

jewell rings
i have 2 pairs of the jewells. one set was made to have some added elevation, which is handy.

You are exactly right, I stand corrected..... I misspoke when I ref'd Charlie Hood
Thank You Al
