I have a Remmy 700 w/a Burris XTR II 4-20x50 mounted w/ Talley Tactical 34mm rings & 20moa rail. I haven't handled the gun in about 2 months. Last night I pulled it out of the safe & **** scope was in an odd location. When I tilted the gun the scope slid thru the rings! The scope is sliding thru the rings like they were never tightened. I torqued them to Burris' specs (I believe 22 in/lb) w/a Wheeler Fat Wrench. What could have happened?

EDIT: Nvm, it does. Just looked it up.

Originally posted by BrianL View PostAre they still torqued to spec? If so, miss sized rings or bad tube. QC problems rare on those two.
Originally posted by sierracharlie338 View PostDid you lap the rings before the install? The only time I have had a scope slip was also on a set of rings that I didn't lap. Needless to say I lap all my rings now.
Originally posted by Outbreaker View PostDid you torque, let loose then retorque? That initial stress on the metal will sometimes cause it to stretch a little.
I sent an email to Talley & they said "I don't know what happened. We'll send you a new set w/a return label". Killer CS but I need to know why this happened as I don't want it to ever happen again!

Talley wants them back to do an assessment. I just checked & w/the torque wrench set on ~22 in/lbs. the screws tightened easily. The only thing I can fathom happened is the screws stretched???
Weird deal & curious as to what Talley comes up with. They're shipping me a new set today w/a return label. Their CS appears to be top notch!

I haven't checked that yet but will ASAP.
I did not lap them as Talley voids the warranty if lapped & they guarantee no lapping is needed.
The rings are mega thick & the scope is built like a tank. I can't possibly see either of them being altered w/22 in/lbs. of torque.
