I'm assuming something wasn't right or they'd have just replaced the pin. If it will stay together after I follow the instructions (again) hopefully I'll say the same.

I like their mounts.
Don't lose a part of the next one. |

For anyone curious, they are replacing the mount. I hope this one's better.

Yeah I read them. That's how I knew the torque values. BUT I didn't remember when they gave me the question. I told them I followed them.

Do you read directions?
Did you read the directions? That is one difference between most rings and their mount. I actually like that about it. |

Oh and they implied it was my fault if I didn't torque the bottom halves down first. I followed instructions but couldn't remember that. Something yall may want to know.

No that was Monday and adm said the pin would do that. I sent it to them today. Not real happy but don't want to spend 200+ on a new one. I requested a new one. I hope they don't just sick a pin in it and send it back.

I don't know if it's still moving. The shot placement on the deer were suspect. I really just shot it enough to find out how bad it was out of position and quit since I didn't have tools for zero stop.

5 mrad shift at 100 yards is huge.
I have had very good luck with ADM products, but anything is possible. Just to be clear: the POI shifts around randomly? or did it shift 5mrad and stay there? Either way, have ADM look at the mount. If you decide to switch and do not need QD functionality, I can not recommend Aadmount enough. I've used a bunch of them and they are absolutely superb. ILya

When it comes to mounts the less moving parts and less places it has to fail the better. AAdland looks to me like a solid choice. I kind of wonder if they sent you a 35 mm instead of a 34 mm.

Not that that makes me feel that much better. I will probably just get a different mount. It's not like I'm in combat but I can't stand wounding an animal that did nothing to deserve it.

I honestly think that is just there to help line the ring halves up to make it simpler to put them together. I dont see how rhat would cause the rings to slip.
I would still call AD and just see what they think. |

Is it the pin between the two bolts on the bottom of the ring?

If I need to lap rings, there is a problem that I would rather not get wrong. I don't lap rings, I make sure everything is done right before it comes to that.

I agree, I'm not an advocate, lap only if you must. However, I test every time I mount for reasons stated above. In many years I've never had an issue lapping the rings, gravitation shouldn't a problem if turned judiciously. As ST73 states its best to use a one piece mount. Also torque is your friend only to a point, then, after the sweet spot it becomes an enemy of both you and the scope. |
