Anyone have advice for recent $5000 purchase. Buyer beware SFRC style.

Can someone explain to me how you need a gunsmith to put on a new scope ring?

Torque driver, lapping tool, bore sighter, etc...
Or just clamp it on and shoot at the dirt till you figure it out.

Tcost I would like $510 compensation for having to read through 51 posts on this matter. $10 per post seems fair to me for my unnecessary time, energy and intellectual
preoccupation. PM me and I'll send you a email address for a EMT.

But really joking aside, I think SFRC has handled it quite well. I've dealt with them a few dozen times, zero issues.

There is actually quite a few people who lack either the tools, knowledge, or confidence to do that themselves. I personally still get nervous mounting the more expensive glass

I dare to guess it was a VoPo refurb K43 with original scope and repro mount. That thing is complicated. i wouldn't even try, especially on rifle with that price tag.

Jokes aside asking for compensation isn't uncommon. If your lame or dumb you'll never ask and you'll never get.

I just asked and I'm waiting for my compensation

Yes it was/is.
Here are some pics for the pic hungry folks. It hard to see, I can see how it was missed if it was.

I’m guessing lock soon, but can’t help but to want more details. Personally I’ve never mounted any scope to a rifle in rings that couldn’t handle being shipped. Even dropped... I also have a hard time believing it sat for sale for any length of time without being noticed broken. $5k is a decent amount of money for a rifle and scope. You’d think it would’ve had $200 rings on it?
Pics would go a long way in settling this!
On a side note, I’ve had good dealings with SFRC.

I haven't seen pics.. But my M48 with Euro mounts ..I had to get the machinist at work to retap and get oddball metric screws
Seeing pics now changes everything.. I would think it is flawed from the dealer

+1 for SFRC. Stopped in for my first time a couple weeks ago. Knowledgable and friendly service. Had lots of in-stock variety to browse through. Definitely a positive experience.

I think this has run its course so I am locking it. Thank you everyone for your input as well as the OP. The rings are on the way and should be here any day.
