Yep, farmer-tight / oilfield-tight has proved to cause some issues. I was skeptical of 15-17 inch pounds of torque on rings. But evenly applied, I have not had issues on any 338, 375, 416, or 458 Lott, even with the “heavier” European type scope. I do believe occasionally there are some piss-poorly manufactured rings that make it into the market place.
Lol, I have seen a couple of the wasp-waisted scope tubes. They give a unique design to a scope tube.
