    Re: Leatherwood HI-LUX Riflescopes

    I bought a set of the Leatherwood Tactical rings a LONG time ago. They are 30mm with 1inch inserts. Pretty nice quality but extremely heavy (all steel). They were great until I lost a ring cap screw, then all hell broke loose. After some measuring trying to find a suitable replacement, it was determined that they were a 4mm socket cap. Had a hard time finding them, so I called their customer service line, to inquire about replacements. I called to get a full set of replacements- on my dime of course. They said they could only send four. Ended up costing around 20 bucks. Not too happy but problem solved- or so I thought. Got the screws in and lo' and behold they don't fit. they are like a 6- by something thread. The rings subsequently end up in the scrap bin. Just recently I decide to dig them out after scoring some Burris scope screws 8-40 or 48 or something, can't remember off the top of my head. Retap the holes and it actually works! They are holding great. Lost a whole top ring now, but at least i don't have the screw problem anymore Overall the quality is pretty decent, wasn't too happy with the customer service though. My point is, from personal experience, buyer beware with the Leatherwood line. I know the issues are kind of trivial but it still leaves an impression.

    I did see that 3d mount and it looks kind of cool.

    Oh yeah, sorry for semi-hijacking your thread!
