Does anyone see a problem with this scope mounting?

[beanz2]

It looks like the mount was not tight enough, and was moving under recoil...The clamp is adjustable for clamp tension. Try tightening it.

Do you mean tightening the titanium bolt on the bottom of the RS-303? The only thing I did not do was using a tool to tighten it, IIRC their instructions says not to use a tool, but I may be wrong...

I'll try that next on the new rail RS Regulate is sending me. Thanks.

Beanz2, the way I adjusted my scope mount was by depressing the securing lug and giving the titanium bolt a couple of turns.cIt looks like your mount was too loose. Nice set up though.

As said above!!! No tools needed..

That's exactly how I did it, if I were to turn the titanium adjusting bolt any tighter, the RS-303 will not slide over the optics rail any more. I left it at the point the RS mount would barely slide in, to the point I have to hit it with my palm to go in.

I have the feeling how forward I mount the scope just puts too much leverage on the RS-303, but when Horse sends me a replacement mount, I will try mounting the scope further back as long as the eye relief still allows me to shoot it the way I shoot it.

I really want to have this setup work. I really don't want to alter the rifle too much, like having the KOP installed.

So finally I caved in and used a different mounting system. I contacted Sabrewerks for the new KOP system and sent off my VEPR. Fred took good care of me. He fitted his KOP system, concentrically threaded the barrel and added a Precision Armament M11 muzzle brake.



Can't wait to get her back!

Is it holding tight zero?

Is it holding tight zero?

Hopefully so. It is still on its way back to me.

Looks good! Give us the feedback once you get out!

lengthen the stock so you can pull the scope back to where it belongs.

You shouldn't mount the rings next to adjustment knobs. It's bad for your internals especially if you crank down on your rings.

The Saberworks KOP is the best setup I have used.

Check out Mac's video. He does a much better job of explaining the Saberworks mount than I can.

How's the cheek weld?

I like the foam and duct tape method and make my own custom cheek riser. Works great.

Are you referring to my first RS Regulate set up or the current KOP set up? It seems the distance between rings on Sabrewerks' Magnified Optic mount is fixed, so one has to tighten the rings where they are. I sure hope when the rings are torqued to the specifications, there will be little deformation on the scope tube.

Fixed the link for you

What scope are you running on yours? I considered using the KOP on another rifle, a training/class rifle, but I am running a Browe BCO on it, so decided on a Zenitco rail. For now.

My VEPR or Twystd1's rifle? I'm still waiting for mine to arrive at my work (no worries, guys, I'm not a disgruntled employee, but I can be a mean boss LOL). I'm thinking if the cheekweld is poor, I'd go for one of these:
