Marks on bottom of base on scope

[josebd]

I had this mounted on a 6.5 Creedmoor, the right side is the rear of scope, I have read if there is any slack on the scope base to push scope forward, then tighten it up, less than 30 shots, I had it tight

Well evidently there’s nothing catching the pic rail.

 

[std7mag]

Why does the part that looks like it should engage the pic rail look all mangled up?

 

[wedgy]

Is this a thermal ? Looks like it wasn't seated right. What does the rail look like ?

 

[josebd]

Rail doesn’t look bad,yes sightmark wraith

If your using an EGW base, you shoulda popped for their Keystone line of rings!
And you would have saved 10% buying both at the same time.

I have many of their bases (and rings), and have never seen an accessory come off looking like that.

Does it look like this?

It’s a Thermal scope. They don’t make rings for that one.

 

[Kracken McGraw]

I would call SightMark.
This is what there showing on there website for a base now, which sure looks like a improvement on what yours has.

You need a new rail with slots all the way across the top. Your base “key” has nothing to grab.

 

[M-61]

Not a great pic for me
So, why do the torx head screws look buggered?
Maybe it’s the pic

I think joshb nailed it. Need a continuous slot for your key to hit. It looks like the small scope mount key is aligning to the gaps in the EGW slots.

My Wraith looks like the one pictured(Kracken) with cross bolts. The factory cross bolts will stretch and the threads will not hold torque if over torqued. I replaced mine with a quick detach( remove the weaver mount from Wraith and replace with the quick detach). I purchased mine used and believe the previous owner had applied 40+ inch pounds on the cross bolts. After several cold warm cycles(winter hunting) one or the other bolts would lose torque. Poi shift would be up/left. The cross bolts are 20 inch lb max. My poi shift ended with the qd base(49.99 Amazon). A new standard base is 20.00+ shipping, if Sightmark has any. The 2 bolts holding the base to the scope body are 40 inch pound, with loctite.

base should look like this.
