Re: Theoretically possible to over-tighten rings? I'm not worried about marking the scope, just putting any indents or "crushing" the tube of the scope and causing internal damage. I was also holding onto the long part of the L. You're right about what potential damage has happened will not...

Re: Theoretically possible to over-tighten rings? Going to unmount the scope first thing once I get home and inspect for any possible damage. Then place in an order for a torque wrench. Should be here once I'm back from my week long camping trip. The concern now is how to detect a scope is...

Re: Theoretically possible to over-tighten rings? 15 inch pounds? Sounds like I likely went over that. I tightened down all the allens until they were snug and it would be difficult to go any further without really using force. As much force as one can apply with a small allen wrench...

Re: Theoretically possible to over-tighten rings? I think it would be a good idea to double check everything, pull it off and check the tube, and then report back with my findings. As for right now, sight picture is still clear and in focus. Anything else to look for?

Hey all, kind of a noob question but I wanted to be sure. Got my SWFA SS 5-20x50 HD and everything looks great- paired it with an AD Recon 30mm mount. My question for you guys- is it possible to over-tighten the rings and damage the scope? I did some searching and people say there is some...

Re: SnipersHide/SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 GroupBuy No problem at all, it's more my lack of understanding these new terms. This is my first long range rig and first magnified optic setup of my own, so I've got a lot to learn. I've been reading up and I got what you're saying. Thanks for the help.

Re: SnipersHide/SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 GroupBuy Edit: Just found an AD Recon mount with +20 built in. Don't see it on their website and I might just go with my original idea of getting a standard mount. Edit again: Ah, I got what you're saying. 15 mils is mechanical zero.

Re: SnipersHide/SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 GroupBuy I thought the SS had 30 mils of total travel? I won't be shooting further than 800 so I assumed I wouldn't need a mount with MOA built in. Was looking into either the Bobro mount or AD Recon. Only concern is whether or not the eyebox would be...

Re: SnipersHide/SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 GroupBuy While this thread is bumped- any of you guys putting this scope on a semi-auto platform? Looking for suggestions on whether or not a canted mount is needed.

Re: SnipersHide/SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 GroupBuy Got my shipment notification and UPS tracking number about 10:30AM PST, I ordered on the 19th. Thanks to SWFA and SH for the deal. Extra thanks to Skylar @ SWFA for the great customer service. Now it's time to buy a mount.

Re: SnipersHide/SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 GroupBuy rifle is about 95% done, just need a new barrel nut. waiting on the scope to get to me. crappy cell phone pic for the time being.

Re: SnipersHide/SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 GroupBuy Sounds good. I placed my order on the 19th in the AM hours and realized I neglected to add shipping insurance- contacted SWFA and requested it be added. SWFA was really helpful with my inquiry. Hopefully this didn't create any issues with the...

Re: SnipersHide/SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 GroupBuy Fantastic gesture SWFA! You guys are top notch.
