Yeah, I'd like to know more about his modifications.
Re. optilocks, I'm not crazy about any ring maker who can't be bothered to supply their product with decent screws. Penny wise, inch-pound foolish.
Ask him
Decent screws really? You have to use a carbon steel allen wrench or torx wrench(current production) and I can guarantee you will not have an issue. I don't like ringmarks on my scope and I like them to stay in place.
I did ask him, thank you very much. That's why I responded to his post. And FYI, I always torque to spec. You don't have to react like someone is beating your dog because they noted a commonly reported issue. I didn't criticize the rifle. I actually own one. I criticized the rings.
You don't like two-stage triggers. I don't like optilocks.
Freedom of choice is a beautiful thing.
