[QUOTE="skipglo, post: 1949136, member: 87776"] The reason I asked about torque.... looking at the screws they seem.....a little mangled! If you used just an Allen key and tightened them till they Quit...you can put to much pressure on the tube restricting the movement of the reticle. You should have between 22-25 inch pounds on the rings...no more. Base screws on the rings can go tighter..up to 40. I had this happen once early on and after that bought a Fat Wrench. It's not permanent generally...back off the torque on the rings if you didn't use a torque wrench might help [/QUOTE]
