Hey all, kind of a noob question but I wanted to be sure.
Got my SWFA SS 5-20x50 HD and everything looks great- paired it with an AD Recon 30mm mount. My question for you guys- is it possible to over-tighten the rings and damage the scope?
I did some searching and people say there is some risk. I didn't have time to get the rings lapped as I had to get the rifle ready for a trip tomorrow. It seemed as I was torquing the screws (I went little by little in each corner in an X pattern to distribute torque evenly) it took a while until all the screws were snug.
Looking for opinions, comments. Scope still looks fine when I look through it. Thanks all.
