I've tried mounting this new NXS scope in these new Seekins rings on two different rifles with two different rails. First was an EGW rail on a Weatherby Mark V, and now it's on a Nightforce rail on a Sauer 100 and in both cases it seems to be making minimal contact with the rings. You can see where the rings are rubbing on the scope tube. This is just from me setting the scope in the bottom rings and rotating it a few times without the caps on.
I would have thought it's the rail or action that's out of alignment if it were on one gun, but since it's happened on 2 guns and the wear marks are in the same place, it has to be the rings or the scope tube.
Is this normal? Will there be more/full contact once the ring caps are torqued down?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
