So I mounted this scope and took it to the range, and it lost zero pretty soon. Accuracy was also pretty bad with inconsistent groupings.
When I got back home, the screw was loose (despite having done everything closely in accordance to instructions from the video - repeatedly tightening the screw and striking around it with the mallet in order to seat the mount).
Looks like the same problem happened to others with a similarly designed UTG mount:

In that case, applying the blue thread locker helped to prevent that loosening from happening. I'll try that to fix the issue.
Maybe the thread locker part on the front screw should be included in the official instruction video?

Greetings once again. I am doing some research on optics mounts for my SOCOM. My eyes are just too old for iron any more, too much staring at the sun, I guess… Id love to get a Sadlack, but im having problems finding them right now. I’ve had problems finding someone with experience on the UTG...
