Gotcha. That makes sense. Binding I could certainly see, I thought you were inferring the scope was slipping. I’ve sent a couple sets of ARC rings back because the were obviously binding even before I installed them. The bottom half literally snapped onto the tube and would hold on, even with the top half wide open.Because the scope is exhibiting random vertical shifts, and then comes back. Also, during the initial eval there were odd things that seemed as if the erector was being bound up.
It couldn’t be, however the behavior points to a ring/erector issue.
