Hey all,
I just wanted to share something I found out about too late. I have a small (Not going to give the brand) tac. scope and because of the design - it now leans slightly off center in a clockwise direction.
The reason for this, is because there is only one point where pressure is applied and because eventually aluminum bends. The PIC provided is NOT the brand I have. Just an example of the style.
36358
As you can see in the above pic the lever applies pressure in the center of the aluminum clamp. Which, eventually, caused it to bend and skew the optic.
I'm sure I can bend it back but that will only further weaken the aluminum.
IMO - a scope with two pressure points would have been better.
Thanks and feedback is welcome.
Mike
