So I read through the old thread on this subject, and I’m wondering if there has been any definitive resolution to the issue?
I have a brand new Gen3 5-25 TT which I mounted in a new Spuhr SP4001. Torqued to 15 in-lbs with a Fix it Stick tool and there is significant binding of the parallax knob, to the level that I can’t turn the knob to reach either the min or the max travel (I'd guess the last 15% of travel is blocked in either extreme). I basically have to unscrew all 12 of the ring screws to ~10 in-lbs in order to regain the full movement of the parallax knob.
Not sure if the only solution is to go to a 2-piece ring set a-la ARC or Seekins, but the Spuhr mount is my go-to mount and I have to say I’m a bit disappointed that an optic of this caliber won’t play nice (for me) with a $400 mount.
Thanks,
Sam
