Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    At the budget end of the market, possibly not. Add variable manufacturing tolerances into the mix, and who knows what you'd end up with.
    Lots of RFD's have a big-box-o-mounts that have been salvaged/unpacked/returned/swapped/etc, that they go to for customers who aren't specifically looking for high end stuff. You could find anything in that.

    Some say they'll do both, but frankly i don't trust them. It's why i always go for specific mounts. Not a generic type.

    It's the same as guns. You know the ones that say "Great for 1,000 yard shooting, and just as comfortable in the field" or some noise to that effect. The simple truth is a gun will do one thing very well and the other not so well. Guns that are "all rounders" are usually good at all things but not great/excellent at one specific thing.

    Same with mounts. The "one size fits all" is not something i'd go for.

    The CZ rimfire 'American' models have a dovetail that measure 12.7mm across. Mounts made for the more usual 11mm won't sit right and can loosen off. Warne split type rings or Millet fit them ok.
    If the 'claws' on the bottom of the rings are accidentally fitted upside down they may not fit the dovetail just right and possibly loosen off.
    Cheapie mounts are sometimes supplied with cheapie mounting screws, they stretch excessively while being tightened and WILL loosen off- decent screws from an engineering suppliers are a cheap fix if the threads in the ring are not damaged.

    I had simular problem with 17 hmr and a hawke scope and it turned out to be the scope rings did not suit the scope they worked fine for the leupold/Stevens that was fitted before but not for hawke I think the rings caused a little torque on the scope when tightened if ya know what I mean one ring might pull the scope slightly when tightening the rings . There are so many variables ya need to put aside a day and mess about rule out one thing at a time
    There are mounts I think there called B L K mounts that are very precise
    All the best

    Hi all,

    Thanks for all answers and so on, we are planning on getting some new mounts, either millet, Burris, etc. Hopefully these are actually the problem.,. They do keep loosing so I'll update in a week or 2 when we get the mounts..

    Thanks.
