[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 1156445, member: 39764"] Not at all, I do it all the time to set eye relief. Remember, the cardinal rule of mounting ANY scope is to lap in the mounts with an appropriate length and appropriate diameter drill rod or Wheeler Scope Lapping Jit. I use drill rod and Clover lapping compound myself. (though toothpaste or automotive coarse rubbing compound works too. Never just drop in a scope without lapping the rings. Lapping accomplishes 2 goals. One, it completely seats the tube and insures that when you torque down the caps, that if there is any misalignment, that misalignment don't put 'ring marks on the tube or in a worse case scenario, dent it which can lead to scope failure and , it 'roughens' the mounting surface of the tings which provides a better grip on the tube and insures that recoil won't move the optic in the mounts. The only time flipping the mounts would impact alignment is if the tings have a built in cant, then they are marked front and rear. Don't believe Bruce Talley offers a MOA cant rings set, or at least I've never seen them.... [/QUOTE]
