After 15+ years, on a set of ARMS #22 low rings, 2 of the socket head cap screws popped off on the same side. (Rear ring left side) They were torqued 12-14 in/lbs, had no corrosion, just failed for no apparent reason. Clean break right at the head. Installed on a DSArms SA58 semi in .308 which really doesn't see much use.... found the head in the bottom of the safe and the second was still in the recess of the upper ring.
Curious as I've never seen any scope ring screw fail like this. Before the haters start, other than this screw failure the #22 ring set has performed beyond expectations and actually returned pretty close to zero after removal and re-mount. They appear to be 6-40 5/16" with a 7/64" drive.
