A lemon
Calling this a lemon. Followed the instructions to the T and one of the bottom threads stripped anyway. Moreover, there is way too much movement even when the rings are tightened down. Would not recommend this part to anyone who requires any amount of precision to their rifle. I will be returning this.

Absolute Junk
I am a professional end user who counts on his equipment to save my life and the lives of others. That being said, this mount isn't even of sufficient quality for a recreational shooter. The screws holes strip with MINIMAL torque being applied, and the QD system is a very poor design. I would expect FAR higher quality from a mount in this price range. On a more positive note, Brownells is always easy and professional to deal with regarding returns.
