    Do these scope rings look like they’re different heights? Or is it the way I’m looking at it?

    Totally off, I would not buy that gun . If the scope isn't messed up I would be surprised that's a lot of torque being put on it. If they can't mount a scope properly what else have they done to the gun would be my concern.

    I don't know if any of them are made that way..... But only some cheap little 22 rings that I have, have only one clamping screw. All the center fire rifles have two. Seems odd to see a mismatch like that. If it's as bad as it looks, there's no way that thing is sighted in for beyond 2 yards :rofl:

    The mounts that are threaded to the receiver are different. One looks ghetto and the other is a like a 3/8ths dovetail.

    The scope rings are also different, however this is not always unusual. Only when mixing matched pairs is this a problem. Note that the front is a single screw mount and the rear is a double screw mount.

    Either the owner was a idiot, or they cleverly rednecked engineered a 40 moa base for themselves.

    I currently have plate carrier with AR500 plates. I can't just get soft armor to go into the slots? Also what soft armor is recommended? These plates now are heavy!
