[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 406662, member: 22335"] I've seen similar issues, but most often the screw heads "chip" off a chunk of metal. For this type of ring I find that most of us under-torque the large screw. Leupold recommends 45 in-lbs, and I make darn sure that the rilfes I have with this system are torqued to that spec. Having said that, I also use dual dovetail rings when I don't want to have any chance of this type of failure. [/QUOTE]
