Anyone have troubles with the polymer inserts in OptiLock rings and gloss scopes? I had a gloss Elite 3200 installed in them and it "slid" forward under recoil. I had tightened the OptiLock rings at least as tight as any others I've used and this was the first time I had a problem. (I've also used Millets and Conetrols on this rifle; a Sako in 300WM.)
Just wondering if more torque is required for the polymer inserts to grip properly or if I'd be better off using a matte scope with a rougher surface. Thanks!
I can see how that happens. I had trouble with a 300rum and burris signatures rings and inserts. I had to go back to leupold rings and lapping the rings to hold it.
I have the optilocks on my sako STW, but its with a silver scope and it stays in place good. I can see how you would have trouble with a gloss however.
