Hikmirco alpex scope

[stevekennedy]

So just wondered the people that swap this scope from one gun to another what your using to fasten it tight without marking the finish on the tightening nuts? I usually just do as tight as I can by hand but looking for someone Mabe that someone has 3d printed

Thanks

If you are going to swap it back and forth then invest in Qd mounts, someone will come along and recommend using a torque wrench designed for scopes.
A 6 point socket will give you the most full contact, personay I just nip them up and get on with my shooting.

I’ve got sockets but just didn’t want to mark the nuts and make them go silver. Swapping to quick release will me a 3 gun re zero which I’m not that fussed on doing again

50 years of doing and undoing bolts nuts screws cap cheese pan countersunk grub nylocks castellated breakaway nuts I have learnt not to worry to much.

I can recommend Leupold QR mounts and bases - if you can find the correct fit for your rifle. Leupold claim less than .5 MOA variation on re-mounting. I can assure you mine don’t move at all.

No screws to loosen / tighten. They work on a little locking lever type arrangement.

I've recently started using hawke Steel match mounts with the QR lever and tbf, I can't knock them. Reset them to the same spot every time (i set mine so the levers are facing each other) and you should be good but obviously, remove, replace and shoot a few times to check
