[QUOTE="gearguywb, post: 1938057, member: 114193"] Since I had (have) the same issue... Measured the rail that I was having problems with. Measured 2 other rails. The narrow one was over .020 off. The particular rings I was trying to use would not tighten down, by quite a ways. Tried an alternate set of rings (same mfg, different model) and they will tighten down....barely. Going to install a new rail due to the width variation. To the OP, as others have said, spend the $$$ and get a set of dial calipers, torque wrench, and levels. You owe it to yourself to learn how to mount a scope correctly and measure accurately. [/QUOTE]
