I think you are replying to me (yeah, I know - the subject line says <span style="font-style: italic">"Re: Aries64"</span>). That doesn't mean squat on most forums, as most people seem to mis-direct their replies to the wrong person. OK, so the units that USO is working-on to fit the Heritage 5-25X (56mm) are different from the Sunshades and ARDs' that fit the S & B 5-25X (56mm) - the threads are different. If the 56mm S & B ARDs fit the 56mm Heritage why would USO design and produce another unit?
A slip-over design would just reduce the amount barrel clearance too much for a lot of people running a 56mm objective over a heavy contour. Although most people probably aren't using 40 MOA bases, the photo below shows a 40 MOA base set combined with a heavy contour barrel. I had to trim the underside of my BC Flip Open quite a bit to clear the barrel, but it just clears now.

I just bent the shit out of the dainty threading on the objective of a USO when the rifle took a tumble. Slip over is sounding smart.Good luck </div></div>
WOW! First time I've ever heard of anything produced by USO described as "dainty". How did you bend the threading on the USO ARD with the ARD mounted on the scope? I suspect that if your rifle took a header hard enough to bend the ARD's threading at the junction while mounted, that the aluminum objective bell of the S & B was probably damaged too, at which point even an ARD with a steel housing wouldn't have helped.
