Lately I've been swapping all my scopes around, and it got me both thinking and researching more about these rings I own.
I run them on all my setups.
2x setups work just as intended, I torque rings down the rail at 55''lbs, then the scope freely levels before closing clamshells, just like instructions propose.
These 2 scopes are on Bighorn rails.
2x setups we're more challenging to mount, as the previous 2 we're so easy. Like the previous I torqued rings down, then the scope does not level freely in the rings before closing clamshells.
These 2 scopes are on an ATRS steel rail and Area 419 rail.
Reading the SH forums, seems like it's been happening here and there.
The proposed solution would be (given be an ARC rep on board), only snug the rings to the rail, level and torque the scope in the rings, then finish torquing the rings on the rail.
Anyone here has had this happen to them?
Also as a sidenote, that same ARC rep specified that the pushes both rings on the front recoil lug on rail.
Myself had learned and always did, front rings touching the front recoil lug and rear ring touching the rear recoil lug.
On my 6.5s/.308s it never changed a damn thing in all those years, but this February I have 4 scopes to mount for a hunting group.
All 4 guys I got them to buy ARC M10 rings, and all 4 will be running heavy magnums, should I torque both rings touching the front of recoil lug?
As you can see here, I do enjoy ARC rings!
