So, I'm a dingbat today. I've got a new to me upper, in 300 blackout. I got a new Warne mount. I mounted a cheap but reliable scope in the mount. Then popped it on top of the upper. Forgot to torque the nuts that clamp the mount onto the upper.
I was trying to sight it in, results weren't very good. Finally figured out I'd forgotten to torque the nuts down and they were loose, tightened them as tight I could with my fingers, just about finished sighting it in with much better results. Still not quite as good a group as I'd hoped for though. Anybody have any experience with having rings or mounts finger tight and then tightening them, groups shrink? How much does a scope have to shift for groups to open up?
Thanks,
Bryan
