Hi all,
I have a Mausingfield action with a 20 MOA base. I will be mounting an ATACR 5-25 (56 mm Obj). Does anyone have a photo of their rig with ARC M10 rings? I am not sure if I need 28 mm or 32 mm. I think they will both work, but I am just trying to get an idea of objective to barrel clearance. And yes, I read the ring height sticky. I just want to see how it looks.
Thanks,
Bang

Was wondering if you had any issues with the ARC and the torque required on the Kahles as they say no more than 21 inch pounds?


I have not. I bought this scope off a bud who also had it in ARC rings. I don't torque them down to the indicated 55(?) in-lbs, because I don't feel it necessary. I've not had a scope slip/slide yet. Though recoil on a braked Dasher is nil.

no manufacturer is gonna recommend anywhere close to the 55in-lbs that the ARC requires. they assume most people are gonna use normal 4-6 screw rings, which normally fall around 18-21. but the design allows 55 in-lbs without damage. dozens and dozens of people here use them with a wide variety of scopes

Are you using a traditional stock/chassis that has an exposed barrel or something using a tube handguard?

I have my K318i mounted in ARC rings torqued to 53in/lb (using the fix it sticks AI torque limiter) and haven't had any issues. I had to adjust the scope after the initial mounting and it didn't cause any superficial marks. Shot it out to 1200 without issues.
