Guys, thank you. I just got the chance to mess with it and it works like a charm! The mechanism is smooth as butter. Im very happy with it now. Now, if I could just get that datgon rear mount off. It looks like the rear eye piece needs to be taken off. Not something I feel right doing... the mounts I have will let the rear mount clear if I leave it on, but I have a small bit of OCD and I dont know if I could deal with that. Bought some ring reducers from brownells and they are not thick enough... so Ill need to find out what my tube diameter is. My rings are 1" Zrak rings.
