Well I just got my mount in the mail and put it on. I like the way it looks but there is wiggle in the scope. Its left to right motion and was wondering if this is normal or am I just being squirmish?

did you read the directions and tighten the nut accordingly?

is the wiggle in between the scope and mount or mount and upper?

Sounds like the rings aren't tightened to the correct tension on the mount.

Did you read the directions?  Tighten the bottom screws first.  Then the top.  Use the blue loctite.  Then after that's done, read the directions on adjusting the throw levers.

I bought it off someone on here so I didnt have any directions. The wiggle is betwen the scope and mount. I did tighten the bottom screws first then the top. Im going to take it off again today and mess with it. Thanks for the replys.

Thanks for the concern all. I messed around with it a bit and it was my error. I was tired and up late last night so I might of thought to do one thing but had a brain glitch and did something else. I was in a rush to put some rounds through the new gun before I went overseas again lol

Do what yall said. Tighten the bottom screws for the rings all the way, then the top. Too easy yet I managed to mess it up
