    Rifle Scopes Scope sliding in rings

    Loctite in liquid form shouldn’t hinder the screws being tightened. I also checked the gap on each side with feeler gauges. As a former machinist, I’m picky about such things.

    I did do this when I mounted the rings to the rail. I had no obvious alignment issues.

    Rifle Scopes Scope sliding in rings

    Unfortunately, too late on my scope looking new. She’s got some rash now. Not bad, but it’s definitely not buffing out. I do like the design of the ARC rings though. Pretty much failproof.

    Rifle Scopes Scope sliding in rings

    I remover the scope yesterday evening and inspected the rings for obvious burrs or high spots. I didn’t notice anything unusual. There was some oil residue in the ring saddles, and some thing waxy in the rear ring saddle, so I’ll clean them up and maybe swap caps around and retorque. I don’t...

    Rifle Scopes Scope sliding in rings

    This was kind of my thought. I didn’t know whether to lap them and go on with life or look for a remedy from the manufacturer. I do tend to seek out Seekins accessories, so I’m familiar with the company. I’m sitting here bored at work and my rig is sitting in the closet at home. I’ll pull the...

    Rifle Scopes Scope sliding in rings

    I can’t tell if you’re serious or not. 34mm rings wouldn’t clamp onto a 30mm scope at all. 34mm is over an 1/8” larger than 30mm. The scope would be rattling in the rings.

    Newer member here and new to bolt guns. I’ve had numerous gas guns with scopes and no issues with quality mounts. Knowing this, when I was assembling parts for my long range rig (Bergara HMR 6.5CM, Vortex PST GenII 5-25x, Seekins 20moa rail and Seekins medium rings), I made sure to go with what...

    Checking in from KS

    I did find them on Facebook, thanks for the suggestion, and will be shooting a match very soon. I bought an HMR in 6.5 creed and outfitted it with a Harris Bipod, Fortis brake, seekins 20moa rail, Seekins rings and a Vortex Viper PST GenII 5-25x scope.

    Checking in from KS

    Hello all, I am a seasoned 3-Gun and USPSA shooter from SW Kansas looking to get set up to shoot long range matches. I think it’ll make me a more well-rounded shooter, and I am fortunate to have a well-run match within a couple hours’ drive from the house. I also have several friends already...
