Mine went deer hunting last weekend for antlerless season. Took a nice doe at 160 yards. Put it right where I wanted.

It’s probably the ringsAnyone on here try out the ops2 titanium skeletonized rail? I’ve had a problem with rings clamping on my factory fn rail so I tried the ops2 rail and it’s doing the same thing. The rings I’m using are vortex branded seekins precision 34mm. I’ve tried 2 different sets on 2 different optics that work perfectly on my impact and r700’s. Bothe sets I’ve had for several years and know the rings are good. Is it possible the ops2 rail I got is bad? Thanks
It’s probably the rings
I use ARC rings on all of my SPR’s. Are your rings not tightening all the way?Maybe. The rings I’m using work fine on 6 other rifles with rails from car manufacturers with no problem. Seems like cheap rings fit the fn rail ok but expensive quality rings do not. Lol
What do you mean the rail moves? Is it compressing, or is it not tightened to the action?I torqued the rings at 25 inch pounds and I can see the rail moving sideways maybe .02 to .03. I currently have a g2 viper in a set of 30mm vortex pmr rings and they clamp fine. Rifle shoots .3 to .4 moa with that setup all day. I also have a set of Warne mountain tech ultralight ring I tried and they will not tighten enough either. 2 sets of the cheap vortex pro series rings work fine. It’s weird.
Measure the inside of the ring attachment when rings fully tightened.I’ve measured the factory rail and it is good according to the milspec blueprint someone on here sent me. I thought maybe I missed something. That’s why I ordered the ops2 rail and it’s doing the same thing.
.005 of what?I measured the width of my rings where they clamp on the rail with the screws tight and they measured within .005.
Now I would measure the rail..005 of each other. One set measures.667 wide and the other set measures.672 wide. The .672 set clamp solidly on the rail. The .667 set do not.
True. I feel pretty stupid myself.Just reading this is making me feel stupid. I’m sorry bro but I’m shocked at how hard this seems to be for you to figure out. Also shocked at the fact you’re getting help at what seems to be your complete dysfunction.
My assumption is I have either 2 sets of vortex precision rings that are bad. Or 2 picatinny rails that are bad. Both sets of rings work on every other rifle I own. So logic says the rails are bad. So back to my original question that I may not have asked clearly.Process of deduction. You measured the rail and its within spec. The rings don't fit tight on said rail. Leaving the 2 options of a) the rings are out of spec or 2- you didn't measure correctly. It's the only 2 options.
Interesting indeed.I would assume that. But if both rails are in spec then I have 2 sets are vortex precision rings and a set of warne mountain tech ultralight rings that are out of spec that just happen to work on every other rail I have.
Tell me about it. The more I try to figure it out the more retarded I feel. Might just sell it and buy another impact 737 and be done with it. LolInteresting indeed.
I’ll give you $20 for it if it will help you out!Tell me about it. The more I try to figure it out the more retarded I feel. Might just sell it and buy another impact 737 and be done with it. Lol
Let me think about it. I do have 3 10 round mags for it. So I might could get 25$.I’ll give you $20 for it if it will help you out!
I'll give you $50...Let me think about it. I do have 3 10 round mags for it. So I might could get 25$.
That seems really light for torquing the crossbolts on the rings. Most of my rings are 45-60in/lbsI mean I can put the ring on the rail and torque the screws that clamp it to the rail at 25 inch pound and the ring moves on the rail.
If your rings work on all your other rails, buy a replacement rail for your SPR. Turn the questionable ''out of spec" rail into an expensive paper weight, coffee table center piece, or the likes. Write it off as lesson learned.
