[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 15238, member: 25"] [b]Re: I can\'t believe this[/b] Brent, I once saw several 3.5-10x40 1" Leupold variables that had all been overtightened, causing a very obvious ring indentation, to the eye and that could be felt when you touched the tube. Another time I put a brand new Burris Black Diamond into Burris rings and torqued the capscrews and managed to make a pinch type mark where the ring halves came together. That really ****ed me off because the tension was only 15 inch-pouinds and still the rings dinged the scope body. Cosmetic only but still there (this was not the style with the plastic insert). I find these matte finished scopes much easier to mark, particularly at the join area where the rings should come together. Some rings are just too sharp cornered, they scratch too easily. That is one real benefit of the plastic inserts as in the Burris's, Sako's etc. Interesting comments on the screws/bolts stretching - all the more reason to use a torque screwdriver or wrench. Also I guess this is why I like Badgers, never heard of a scope slipping in those suckers. [/QUOTE]
