35mm on rings on 34mm scope?

[Sffred]

Hello my fellow hide members.
Just wondering if anyone put 35mm scope rings on a 34mm scope tube.

I may have been seeing things, but I couldn’t find the pic post that had it on a Vortex Razor gen2 4.5-27x56. I tried looking for it again but no luck. (Maybe I was dreaming)

The reason being I do own a razor g2 4.5-27x56 in H59 and I’m actually wondering if the top caps of the rings would seat better on its base and have a harder time from “over tightening/over clamping” and would be easier to torque down without tightening down one side more than the other.

I actually just bought a set of rings from a fellow member here that had the rings “lapped” I’m hoping it would seat beautifully, yet tight enough that it doesn’t harm the scope tube or rotate or move upon recoil.

Thanks in advance, your opinion is greatly appreciated,
Fred

No... just use the correct rings

You could wear size 14 shoes on size 12 feet, But the outcome would not be ideal.

Is this a real post?

 

[Sffred]

Thanks again y’all! @Healy it is a real post. I was just wondering.

Two wraps of electrical tape and your good to go.

I agree that it's annoying to have 35mm rings in hand and not be able to use them on a 34mm tube. I went through that. But to buy a $2000 scope and put the wrong rings on it to save $120 wasn't going to fly with me.

 

[Delta Echo]

No, absolutely not OK to do!

Also, it won't even work. When I got my gen2 Razor 3-18, Vortex accidentally sent it with 35mm rings. Even bottomed-out, the scope still spun around.

Last guy who did complained to no end how bad his vortex was at holding zero.

 

[Threadcutter308]

WTF ?.............Real question ?

 

[nobeone]

I wouldn't use 35mm rings on a 34mm scope anymore than I would use 9mm Luger in a 10mm auto.

 

[Niles Coyote]

Just put some tape on it

 

[J-Ham]

But really, what's 1 mm between friends...?

 

[beenawhile1]

You sure it wasn't a Gen 1 razor?

 

[Thud]

I guess at times things must confuse people

 

[2ndamendfan]

WTF. Easier to torque???? How the fuck hard is it to torque the correct rings.

This thread is the stupidest thread in forever.

Go be a dumbass somewhere else.

But I want to plaaaay with it, please?

Just buy an Arken and not give a shit. ?

At least the screws aren't upside down. I think..............

 

[2ndamendfan]

Just do it!!!

Upside down screw?

just get a blowtorch and fill in the void with solder.

anymore than I would use 9mm Luger in a 10mm auto.

but it will explode and blow my head off!

Solder, JB and red locktite is a bit classier than duct tape.




......which I have actually seen on rifles..... as a fastening device.....

 

[QuickNDirty]

Don't listen to the naysayers, op.

Get you a roll of electrical tape from dollar tree. NOT from dollar General or the family dollar.

Put one layer on both sides of the rings. Good to go.

 

[Alabusa]

Only need 1 wrap of duct tape.

I wonder if you could use the tape in the same way as Burris' cant inserts? That would be sweet!

 

[White Mamba]

I would put them in a vice and bend them just enough to get a tight fit

You can just smack the top ring with a hammer to make it tighter once the scope is mounted in the rings if you don't have a vise. It will keep the scope from wanting to slide forward as well when you do this. It's a win/win situation.

Use a non-marring brass drift.........

 

[whatsupdoc]

All kidding aside, I bet if you put a .5mm shim on the top and bottom ring it would probably work just fine.

Fuck it, duck it.

Yes, but make sure the scope is mounted to the rings and then use the vice.

Right, said Sffred ?
