Mostly the above mentioned. Bringing into question the integrity of any top tier 3k plus optic instead or thinking I’m a fucking moron or my torque wrench is 20lb, off especially twice in a row.
Look, I'm not going to go thru it all again....its very detailed above. But:
1. Jeff Huber told a member 18 in/lbs max...with ARC
2. The manual says "follow ring (sic) manf recommendations"....which, by the by, is 55 in/lbs
3. The manual also says 25 in/lbs is the max allowable torque
4. The box has a sticker that says 20 in/lbs max allowable torque.
5. Most of us could give a fuck about the OP of the thread with his VERY vague description of his situation with his cracked lenses and, IMO, the questions raised here did not necessarily arise from his thread.
6. ZCO did come back and say with ARC rings only, 35 in/lbs
7. I don't think anybody has yet engaged Ted on this specific subject.
Now, if this doesn't raise legitimate and valid questions in your mind, sufficient to justify a bit of discussion, about how this $4k scope should be properly mounted in ARC rings, then we probably don't have anything further to talk about.
I do not see this discussion (minus the regular Hide fragile ego boosting bullshit) to have been moronic at all.
