Bad experiences with ARC rings?

Been running various M10s for the last two years or so. Haven't had any notable issues between one day matches or bouncing around in the back of a truck. Ease of use has made them my go-to rings.
I use them on everything. I did have a zero shift after slipping and falling on my rifle in the mountains with another brand of rings. I even switched my hunting rifles to ARC rings after that. If you are looking for “bad experiences” with ARC M10 rings, I think you are wasting your time. They are as solid as any ring you can find.
M-10 rings are excellent.
My bad experience with them,, I took the rings/scope off and when I put them back on it was still zero’d!
It was terrible

My favorite rings. So simple, but I think the design is better than regular rings. Echo the experience as the feral one above.
I absolutely LOVE M10 rings. The only tiny bit of criticism I have is that you must make sure the little pins that hold the lower ring to the two upper pivot “rings” are pushed in before tightening.
Occasionally I’ll open/close the rings while futzing with scope eye relief and find that, after tightening, I noticed a pin walked out a bit during the futzing (but before tightening). This makes me start over with the tightening process.
I’ll take this micro problem any day of the week over the issues with traditional rings.

I put a tiny dab of super glue on the end of each pin before I start. Pins don’t move during installation after that.
The only problem I’ve ever had with them is that I now despise the time wasted fucking with other rings when I could be done in less than 5 minutes. For me any rifle of importance gets M10 rings and I’ll be picking up one of their new M-Brace scope mounts for use with my Revic and Radius.
Honestly, they're my favorite set of rings I've ever purchased. They look good, they function FANTASTIC, the price isn't bad when it comes to quality mounting. They're quite the design.
Now I just gotta get Ted to design a cantilever mount for small frame AR's based off the M10 rings...

They are excellent rings. Not sure about all the "best ever" comments. I would say that they are as good as anything else- but I also have other rings that I consider excellent as well and as good. But they are easy to use and do exactly what they are supposed to.
