Rifle Scopes IFM Rings

[buskin]

Anybody using these rings IFM ?

The specifications, materials, and overall design look top notch.

I ordered a set for my Barrett M98B, so I will post up my impressions once I have them in hand.

If you have them, post up your experience with them and how they compare to other rings you have had.

Interesting design; I like it. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts once you have them in hand.

Very similar to the original ARC rings.

Looks like a Poor rip off of ARC. @karagias

Not quite the same as the original ARC or newer rings, but similar. But then again, so are many other ring manufacturer models similar...

Got my rings and they are definitely a very fine piece of craftmanship.

The milled aluminum and stainless screws, lug, and pivot shaft are all top notch in quality.

Installation is simple, slide the lug towards the front of the picatinny rail and torque one screw, then place the scope in the rings, level everything together, and then torque a single screw in each ring - 4 total screws to torque.

The scope does not rotate when torqueing and the machining tolerances are tight.

So it looks like another quality ring option is available, just an FYI.

It's is a clear infringement of the IP( if it exists) Changing the location of the hinge and bolt doesn't mean anything. It uses the same method and principle to secure the scope.

It's an obvious rip off.

Since I am not a patent attorney, I'll let ARC decide if they want to pursue that avenue with IFM...

Primus, I take it you have never seen the old Leupold hinge rings, Adjusto Mount I think was the name, from at least 40-50 years back? There’s little new under the sun...
