Subject: TPS rings.. interesting design??
Posted: May/08/2014 at 16:11
I just got a set of TPS rings in from SWFA today and was going over the instructions. I have never seen a ring designed like this and would not have used these unless I could find the right height. I needed a ring that was between 1.12" and 1.25" in height and the TPS came in @ 1.18".
Anywho, there is an index mark on one side of the ring and one on the cap to match. The side with the index mark is tightened down completely which leaves a gap on the other side and then by torquing the other side snugs the optic in. A ring set designed to have a gap on one side and not the other. I am not sure if this is a good thing or not.
Has anyone used these and how are they? I am deff not gonna strap a $3.5k optic into them at least not without lapping the hell out of em if I think there is any chance of marring my scope.
