Do you know if the mount is actually 35mm and not 34mm ? Is it possible the box is marked wrong.
The torque setting well... we can avoid that discussion since it puts the responsibility in your hands.
Even with Vortex offering to help, you still lament as if this was their fault, meanwhile it appears to be an issue with the rings more so than the scope. Although the scope was clearly the victim.
As someone mentioned, this isn't the only scope to have this issue, we see it happen more and more with another "high end" optic.
This is what happens with people get emotionally involved in a product... because they paid more for the scope it's automatically is the scope's fault meanwhile I don't see anything about the rings... I guess the assumption is, there could be no issue there, like a 34mm set in a 35mm box or something to that effect, because if that was the case I would suspect the results would be the same. </div></div>
Vortex is great. Im not angry with them at all. Im so far VERY please with their service as I had stated earlier.
The mount is a 35mm it is marked right on the rings. I checked before I mounted it.
Scope ring torque? Well, I always did 15 in/lbs usually... This called for 20-25, so I did it on the low side at 20 inch pounds. I did it slowly and evenly as well.
If its the rings fault... then so be it. I have no idea whos it is exactly... but I got that mount as a reccommendation by Scott at liberty who said they were great. And it looks quality just like Scott said. Havent the ADM recons been proven on other scopes? Also, how could it actually "squish" the scope with what seems like such low pressure and torque? I mean 20 inch lbs is nothing in the car world! That is only 1.66 ft lbs on a torque wrench! I work on cars all the time... but maybe this type of aluminum is just soft or someting? I dunno.
Im not emotionally involved. This isnt a woman! haha! It just sucks when stuff like this happens. When you have a lot of travel time, ammo and time put into the setup and this happens.
By the way, I LOVE this optic so far. I LOVE the clicks, the illumination, the zero stops are great, the light gathering was amazing under the moon and I love the fact it can be blown up with tannerite and still perform! haha (thanks lowlight)
I will send it to Vortex and let them study the scope to see if its the scope or those mounts. I will let everyone know what they say. I'm waiting on Sam's call as I type.
Sorry if I ruffled your feathers.</div></div>
Ah , the pleasures of shooting.
I have my own set of issues I'm working on resolving, but think of the pleasure when everything is as you want it. I think everyone shares your pain.
