Earlier this year I ordered a LT112 for a build I am working on. Got around to mounting the scope and it appears that my package did not include the wrench to tighten the levers. I sent a message via your website and the response back was that I had to buy one for 7.95 plus shipping for 1.50. Really? I have to buy something that was supposed to be included with my package but was not?

is it not entirely possible you fondled it when you got it and lost it? That's what I'm guessing^^^ It's a torx but yeah, nothing special and any lowes/home depot would have them. I broke down and spent the money on the LT armorers tool and it's actually really nice, easier for me to consistently tighten all the screws...at least the voices in my head say it's more consistent

I never recall seeing it in the package. Opened the package to mount the scope. No wrench. Perhaps it was buried in all the swag. I tried using a box wrench but it did not feel like it was getting a good purchase on the bolt head so I stopped before I messed it up.
The scope is going to be switched between uppers so the wrench would be very helpful. One rifle is for long range target shooting and the other will be used in the hunting season. I know I have to zero them in each time I switch but cheaper than buying two scopes. |

I'm 98% sure they are not in the actual mount bag, I've got several floating around because my fat fingers end up squirting that tiny bottle of Loctite everywhere so I just bought my own big bottle and leave the little card/Loctite/wrench bags sealed up for emergencies. You didn't get lever's on the mount if you're switching it around? |

| Keep in mind that if you tighten/loosen the locking levers, you will have to re-zero. What you should do is keep track of the clicks in elevation/windage when you swap the first time. That way you only have to reverse the click changes to be back on zero with the original rifle.... |

The only complication is that my optic a Vortex PST has zero stop capability on the elevation turret. I have to make sure that I set the scope for the lowest shooting round at 100 yds. |
