Cracking around ring base screws

[DangerRanger]

Anybody had this happen on vortex pro rings? These are the lowest 1” rings I can find on the market for this hunting rifle(0.75”). Have never experienced this before but I also usually buy higher end rings. These are not “low end” it seems with solid reviews on here and made in us but still has me a touch uncomfortable.

New set coming my way to swap out but found it interesting. I used my normal torque wrench to exactly the in/lbs (30) suggested and heard them sounding like rice crispies on the last little bit of effort before it clicked.

25 in/lbs was no issue.

Spuhr had a similar issue awhile back. Can happen to the best.

Aren’t the pros made by Seekins and def not junk.

As said, shit does indeed happen to everyone’s products at some time.

I don’t think so, that’s the precision matched rings. I’ve had tons of those sets without an issue.

Ah… thank you. Got it.
