Rant:
I was mounting a base/rings/scope on my 6.5 Creedmoor rifle at lunch and found myself amused that both Area 419 and Vortex say all over their packaging that their products require that they are torqued to very specific values (else it will come lose or damage your scope), yet they give you L shaped keys in hex/torx/whatever instead of a bit that I could use in my Fat Wrench or other torque wrench to actually install their products.
The key literally does 0 good, other than to take their own product off. And there is a real chance that I may have lost the bit (or my wrench did not come with a bit) that fits their product. Why not provide that bit instead? Something that I can actually use for installation?
Neither the base nor the rings were by any means cheap, and the L key has to cost something. The bit can't be that much more marginally expensive.
End rant.
To be clear I have the bits needed for the install. Just strikes me as silly to not include them.
