I've found that tightening the screw to factory recommended 2.5Nm using the super clamp tends to weaken the factory screw at the head and has broken on me twice. 20in-lbs seems to be where it's happiest.
That "nanometers" got me every time. Is there any rigidity or repeatability advantage to upgrading to this when using an mps specific mounting plate? It would have also been nice to see a mention of keeping the optic pressed forward during torque to eat up any slot tolerances against the recoiling face, just to help spread best mounting practices.
This will only fix the problem of shear loading the mounting screw if all of the tolerance stack lines up. The only way to fix this issue is to have a pivot that the screw goes through. This an informed observation from someone who has a screw sheared off in their sight.
Having the screw go through the pivot point would not produce appropriate clamping force, we tried that. As long as the factory screw is not over torqued, it will hold up just fine with our clamp.
Isn't that 100% the point of the slot in the acro mount. That's like picatinny not having slots. Of course, it would be as effective buuut it does have slots and the acro has a slot as well. Thanks tho
@MD Fröman I don't disagree. But the Steiner MPS stock mount is more than enough on thr quality side. Many people think because there's an "upgrade" option that it must be an improvement, with this product, it's a ploy.
This item is needless and this video is deceiving. One they didn’t use the recoil boss as designed, nor in their demonstration. Did they torque it to the proper torque value?
