SPR A5M XP Rail: Nonstandard?

Moved the scope from my AR-15 to the XP last night just to see what I would see. The scope is mounted to Burris extra high QD rings, so I expected it to be suboptimal, but I did not expect what I found. The rings lock up tight on the rail on the LMT MRP (receiver and rail all one piece) but they wiggle laterally on the XP. A lot. Adjusting the rings did not help.

These rings are too tall for the XP, and QD is not all that useful, so I'm not greatly concerned that this ring/scope combination does not work, but I am puzzled that the XP's rail does not seem to be standard.

Any thoughts? What rings are you using?

Don't some ring manufacturer's measure from the middle of the ring while others measure from the bottom as well?
Yes, IIRC. :eek:
