warne mounts

ianoo

well lads
i was just wondering if anyone else has had problems with these mounts,they are "warne tactical mounts"

i got back from a stalking trip to wicklow yesterday ,
while cleaning my rifle i noticed a screw missing from my rear mount ,
not a major problem cos there is 5 screws holding it on.so i decided to check the rest when i checked the large nut on the side it just sheared of in my hand under finger pressure only:eek:!!!now the mount is useless and its only a year old

have to get a new set now and re-zero and only 3 weeks left of the season (what a thing to happen in the middle of a recession)

dealer reckons the company might do something for me but we will have to wait and see

I had trouble with mine but it was a different issue, it was over torqued during install by dealer. Got them replaced under warrenty.

Hi Ian,

I use the same ones and have no problems thankfully but I used a torque wrench to set them at the manufacturers stated tightness.

Drop Warne an email and I am sure they will get you sorted as it shouldnt have happened unless you put excessive presure on when tightening.

If you dont already have one, a torque wrech or screw driver is worth while investment for use on your shooting equipment.

Hope you get sorted though

called in to my dealer today ,he gave me another set on loan while we send the broken ones back ,fair play to him....said there should be no issue in getting them replaced
so i'm out to re-zero in the morning then its back to bussiness as usual ....
