Thread: Lesson Learnt - Cheap Rings

Optilocks on my T3s - yes they’re a bit heavy, but they never move and they don’t damage scope tubes.
BTW - bloke in my local shop mounted a scope for me and was clearly clueless. He managed to strip the thread on one of the screws. Got him to give me a new set and did it myself. Just because someone works in a gun shop doesn’t mean they are competent.

Optilocks are overpriced, junk rings.

OK on a Sako but pointless on a T3.

Honestly Sportsmatch are better and cheaper, but still a crap choice.
