I buy the American Rifle Company (ARC) rings for almost all my rifles. I have them on 6 rifles and never, ever had a problem. They are affordable, (mid range cost) but they seem perfectly machined. They are one of the very few scope rings, mount, etc,.. I've ever noticed that when torqued properly, the "gap" between the 2 rings is always perfect and the same every single time time, when comparing from one to the other.
My question is : I've noticed alot of "precision" rings/mounts with odd gaps from one side to the other when torqued down, how are they "precision machined" if the gaps aren't exact everywhere? Shouldn't the rings/mount close perfectly with hardly any gap like the ARC's? Isn't that a part of what precision machined means?
I'm not knocking other brands, just trying to understand. I probably opened Pandora's box here, but Let the schooling begin!!!!
