jay222 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Just got a set of these, the need to flex them over the scope tube just feels very wrong to me and I'm not looking forward to taking them off to see if they've marked the tube! Has anyone else got these and if so how did your scope take to the treatment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camo304 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Always used them i open them up a tad first before fitting but don't go mad, never marked a tube yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raifuru Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 There are a couple of ways around this. One being a bit of grease on the two lead edges of the top ring or use a piece of film negative or some of the material a screen protector is made of. Just place it on the scope and push the ring down over it. Then remove. I got a really nasty scratch on a Swarovski with these rings. Damned good rings for the money though.

jay222 Posted April 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 I used grease on these ones, hopefully it's done the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minkstone Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 The best way is to use 2 allen keys, put one into one of the threaded holes each side of the top ring so they are upright, push the top of each allen key gently inwards which will flex the ring just enough to open the ring out and drop straight down over the scope tube.
