Well, been anxiously awaiting all the parts to start to assemble my new rifle and it all made it in yesterday.
Savage Model 12 LRP Remington 260
Warne 20MOA Picatinny Rail
Leupold Mark 4 30mm (medium) Steel Rings
Vortex Viper PST 6x24x50
Mounted the rail no problem started on the rings.... Ok so I did not have a 1/2 inch socket in a 1/4 inch drive to use on my Fat Wrench. Pulled out my 3/8 drive torque wrench and uh-oh Foot Pounds not Inch Pounds.
Well, totally bummed... Besides the rings weren't cheap but I was trying to get this ready to shoot next weekend. I sent Leupold customer service an e-mail and admitted my stupidity. Not sure if they can just send me the piece that broke, would send me a new lower half, repair it, etc... Hoping for a decent option, not tough break buy another set.
Will post back on the outcome, not sure if anyone else had a similar experience...
