The alloy rings on my 300WM were not doing the job, so I moved up to Warne 200M steel rings.
My scope barrel must be slightly undersized because the top halves of the rings meet before I am anywhere near the recommended 25 lb-in torque on the screws.
Warne says that is OK, which is clearly incorrect, and that padding might damage the scope, which is also probably incorrect.
What is the best material to pad the rings with?
My first instinct is synthetic felt, which compresses 75%, with a dab of rubber cement to hold it in place for the tightening.
