I figured.I missed that part.
My bad, my brother.
....*sigh*, I'm just too unrefined to appreciate or discern whatever benefits a $4K scope might provide, but definitely more so with these Kobe steak prices...
...this thread has been good for the laughs it has brought .....TBH, the original post did more to cast doubt on both ARC & ZCO products. Was it justified....who can say? Was it an isolated incident, apparently not, but like many have postulated, insufficient numbers of occurrence's to say the whole line of products (ARC & ZCO) are defective and not worthy of purchase. I personally wouldn't purchase either product because I can't afford or justify the cost, but what I can learn from these kind of posts are some of nuances in proper installation and use/care of these tools that are common to all price ranges of scopes and mounts/rings.
Wet torquing crew checking in. 15+ optics with zero issues. Spuhr mounts however.
Dat like "Geek Squad" for optics?
Roka Akor downtown Chicago coming through with the A5 upgrade.
Pop quiz: given an equal applied torque and fasteners, which creates a higher clamping force?
Go...............
- dry threads
- lubricated threads
Go...............
This is a steak thread. Please take the nerd talk to the bear pit. Torque specs may also be discussed in any other board in which it does not apply. Reloading comes to mind
Lubed. Lubed generate more clamping load on whatever you’re screwing together. Dry a lot of that torque is eaten up in the threads rather than transferring to clamping load.

@Tokay444 a man of culture I see, this steak thread is progressing smoothly
on 8 hrs no eat?
my uncultured ass would be at back of a chick fil a line after im done with all of that.
OK, after seeing all of your meal postings, I feel a little dirty.... As the amount of well prepared meat appears off the charts. to that all I can say is "WELL DONE"! You have made me very, very jealous and I'm thinking of blocking you, at a minimum reporting you to PETA.
Seeing how Bolt Action Rifles has turned into the Reloading Depot, what’s your stance on the China Flu vaxx?
This is raw horse in Japan raised in a similar fashion to wagyu cows.
How the people who are still talking about torque values eat their steak…. There’s no arguing with them.. this is meat/steak thread now
A 6oz serving of Mikkabi beef in Japan as one course of a great meal.
They might say, “That Tokay, he can’t shoot for shit…” but they’ll also have to say, “but that mother fucker knows how to eat!”
Well said!! I don’t see myself going to Japan anytime soon though
but I do see myself ordering a whole loin wagyu soon!!CDC reccomends beef and fish be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F to prevemt food poisioning.
CDC also reccomends you wear a mask.
I better not catch any mask nazis eating a rare steak or sushi.

I drew my line over the wuflu at mask. Never worn one for it, at all. In fact, I caught the slant-eyed-sniffles on my last Japan trip in January of 2020, and for me it was no big deal, as with 99% of those who get it. Also, FUCK the cdc.
What a total crap storm this thread has become. I would have thought this was ARFCOM here for a while.
Thread title should be changed to: My new M-brace mount destroyed two optics. Think this thread would have gone a completely different direction. As I know of at least 10 ZCOs personally that have been torqued to 55 inch pounds in ARC rings without issues since 2019.

Bro, I’m vampire white with freckles, and the Chinese hate the number 4…
I have nothing but love for everyone, but the CCP is a fucking cancer.
But what do you torque to?Well you folks can keep commenting on the torque setting and a ZCO, I am going to go out and shoot mine today
Nice setup btw!
Bunch o Savages in here. Gotta use the whole cow and that means Brisket. And Brisket is Fabulous!
(So is ZCO)
Just out of curiosity - do your engineers have a reason to argue against ARC's specs? ARC will show the mathematical & engineering justification for their numbers, will you be doing the same?
Maybe ZCO needs a rebrand - Minimal Compromise Optics (haha. Fanboys, don't get offended, it's a simple jape)
Yeah. Unfortunately, IMTS is at the McCormick Center every two years, so one makes the best of it.
Probably not. We'll just let this dead dog lie and move on. I think it's been beat to death enough. Like we've already said, we are big fans of their rings and continue to use and recommend them. This honestly isn't a "us versus them" thing at all.
This is all you need to know,
Use ZCO Scope
Use ARC Rings
ZCO obviously stands behind there products. If you have an issue of any kind they’ll take care of you.
This thread was over long ago
