First official question post here, so mods please move if necessary.
Im using an A.R.M.S # 72 scope mount on my SCAR 17,
I picked this mount because it was around $200 like other quality mounts (geissele, ADM) that are typically recommended for the SCAR 17 but it has a harmonic recoil reduction spring running through the center of it which is a feature I havent seen on any other mount, as well as it being rated for 300wm, 50cal, up to 40mm anti-material rifles.
My problem is the Vortex 4-16 ffp i want to use didnt clear the base of the mount at first so I loosened the screws underneath holding the rings on, tightened them around the scope, and then re-tightened the bolts in the base. It seemed to work, but the rings didnt seat all the way into the mount. I assumed that this is the way this mount is supposed to work as I cant see any other reason for it to be designed this way, otherwise youd think that the rings would be all one piece with the mount right?
Does anybody hear have any feedback or experience with A.R.M.S mounts? I shot about 60 rounds through the rifle and the setup seemed to work. I took the mount off and put it back on and it held zero, but i did notice that after about 50 rounds one of the bolts on the bottom had become about 1/8th of a turn loose which worried me a little bit, but I guess that could be attributed to the mount needing to settle in place, or the scope and mount just being outright incompatible with one another, which I hope is not the case.
Please help
