[QUOTE="dieselboy427, post: 682702, member: 5768"] This thread seems to get a lot of attention. I know people that have had Nightmare break. I've had a Burritos XTR fail. They all have that possibility, but honestly, so do your rings and base. Epoxy your base down. Torque and loctite the screws. Torque the ring cross bolts, back off torque, repeat until the torque wrench handle stays in the same approximate angle. Check true of the rings and lap them. I have seen 40% give or take contact on even the best rings. Install the best you can afford. center the caps and torque them as well. I call manufacturers for torque values if they aren't listed. True the reticle. I use a plumb bob and a level. If you mount it this way it will eliminate the other failure points. I am sticking by my SWFA SS suggestion. They May not be Tasco price range, but try to find many negative comments. They just don't seem to have many other than they don't have xxxx feature. [/QUOTE]
