Opinion on scope mount?
Is it normal to have machine marks on the ID of rings (not the relief cuts, I mean the radial and longitudinal marks), or is this no bueno?

Out of curiosity, I checked a couple of Bobro's and a Geissele on my desk. None have the machining marks. What rings are you using?

Not going to take the rings off my scopes, but I think what you're seeing is normal. Really seems on par with my last couple NightForce rings if I recall correctly. Main thing is that you want is maximum surface area contact when tightening down. Most of the higher end mounts don't require lapping, and some manufacturers will void the warranty if you do.

Saw your post on this on another forum. Did the mfg admit it wasn't right when they offered a refund? Or did they say it was normal but willing to refund anyway?

If it's bothering you now, nothing will make it better. It could knock .5 MOA off your longest range and those marks would still taunt you.
There's no "Team" in F**K YOU!

I see very minor marks on the surfaces that touch the scope. Hardly anything. The most visible marks are on the relief cuts where the top and bottom rings come together, which are basically irrelevant.
I personally wouldn't be bothered.Will - Owner of Arisaka LLC - http://www.arisakadefense.com

I am of the opinion that in general those don't (or shouldn't) matter and won't effect shooting if at all.
However after seeing some of the capabilities of some high end manufacturers and what they can produce when they really want to would influence my complaints. What else would influence my complaints is how much I paid for them.
So no it won't really have any kind of material effect on shooting, but if you paid a lot for a high dollar name brand I would take note of that.
Compare them with the competition and see what each offers in the same price range and report back.

My issue is that this is the most expensive mount of a non-qd nature which is made in America, to my knowledge. I expected it to be the equal or better of my nightforce and bobro mounts. My geissele "super precision" mount did not live up to my expectations.
