Good to know.

Curious as to what part of the "tip off" 30mm rings failed. If it is the scope slipping in the rings, ever since I have been using some sort of adhesive (a dab of ShoeGoo) in the saddle of the Weaver rings, they have worked fine without the need to swage the scope tube by over-tightening the top strap. But I've not tested this on a big recoiler.
