You better video it! Dont miss.

Glad to see your not having the pressure sign problems I had with retumbo in my 300 rum.

LMAO! No, seriously, the cross bar has (or used to) have a flat milled on one side & not ther other. I assumed (I know, I know) that was for a larger purchase against the lug of you picatinny rail... I would have to agree it does look tougher on the bolt side, ah... the benefit if being a south paw!

 

[Tikkamike]

well crap! i guess I dont really know! I thought it was square hope I am not wrong! I better take one off and see

 

[Outlaw6.0]

No, don't do that just yet, i've got a couple sets as home in my parts kit, i'll verify when I get there (about an hour or so). Hang til then, i'd feel like a real tool for havin you strip you scope off to find out I was full of crap.

 

[Tikkamike]

me too! I would probably start lobbing hate mail over the mountain at you

 

[Footsore]

Just checked a set I have and with the nuts on the bolt side (right) the recoil cutout in the crossbolt is to the rear. So to me you are OK.

 

[Tikkamike]

doesnt it need to be to the front?? you are confirming though that one side is milled flat for mounting against the rail though right?

 

[Outlaw6.0]

Yeah, it's supposed to be in front, don't start lobbin the hate mail yet... i'll verify & post a pic if i can get a good shot of it.

 

[Outlaw6.0]

Yep, milled on one side round on the other...

 

[Tikkamike]

That's what I get for assuming its square! Dang it!

 

[Outlaw6.0]

If it makes you feel better, one of my rifles is still sporting them backwards (thats when I found out). I wonder if the other "big" rings sport that type of cross bar? Like the Maxx 50's & such....

 

[Tikkamike]

No I have Max 50's on my 338 I know for sure they are square

 

[Footsore]

Recoil cutout to the front. Now I get it. Will have to check my other rifle now.

 

[Tikkamike]

Well sir outlaw... you were correct so I put it back together correctlyand fortunatley the alignment bars indicated no additional ring lapping was required so it was a quick fix. I loaded another 5 .075 off the lands this time so hopefully I get her at least under an inch this time!
