Whoops! Tried to go cheap.

Well, that'll teach me.

I tried to go cheap, and bought a used Redfield Revolution from the EE.

1) Painted, not anodized. I can scratch the finish with my fingernail. I happen to know that Anodizing is now *less expensive* than painting. Why?!?

2) Tightening the (Warne) rings to 66% of the specified torque freezes the power ring on the scope, as in it can no longer be turned. It's going on a long gun, so there is no room to move the scope forward.

Darnit.

Well that sucks.

Weird... I've mounted quite a few redfields for people, and have never had any problem... I also have one on one of my guns, and I kinda like it.

Contact Korth Group. The Redfield scopes carry good warranty(similar to Leupold) and this sounds like something they can address (not the finish). Phil.
