How is this tip shaming? I didn't even mention tipping, other than the auto gratuity being listed on the menu. I just said it's the responsibility of every adult human to make sure their bill is correct before paying it. The people on this sub talk big and bad about how they handle restaurants but have such thin skin about absolutely everything. It's pathetic.
I'm trying to get into longer range shooting. I currently have experience shooting 556 out to 100 yards mostly due to the limitations of my current range. I've recently found a range that goes out further, so my intent is to work my way out to several hundred yards with 556 first to work on fundamentals.
I'm also building a 22" 6.5CM with Aero M5 receivers, which is what this scope would be for. I would like to eventually shoot it out to 1000 yards.
I've been a lurker on here for a while. I searched for info on the scope in this community but all I found are posts from 4 or 5 years ago. At this time, my main questions are... Does anyone have experience with this scope? Is this a good deal at this sale price? I'd like something in this price range to start out.
I've had no problems out of my regular inch/pounds Fat Wrench, so when I ran across the foot/pounds version and found that it came with a set of crows foot wrenches, it seemed like a good deal.
I ended up buying one from Optics Planet. I've now used it exactly once and I apparently got one that wasn't properly calibrated. Now I'm out an upper receiver and a barrel. I was previously using a basic Real Avid wrench and built 6 or 7 uppers with no issues.
I emailed Wheeler. They offered to send a new wrench, no questions asked, and sent me a return label to send the old one back for testing. On one hand, that's great customer service, but it could be a little telling that they didn't even question that the tool was faulty. I asked for additional compensation to cover my losses with the barrel and upper, but they flat turned me down.
I'd look elsewhere for a dependable foot/pounds torque wrench. I honestly don't have much confidence in using the XL Fat Wrench going forward and am disappointed they wouldn't even entertain compensation for the damage their faulty tool caused. I really wish I would have bought the nicer Real Avid instead of the Wheeler. I guess there's a reason it's 3x the price. Lol
TL;DR I bought a foot/pounds torque wrench from Wheeler that destroyed my upper receiver and barrel. Wheeler is replacing the wrench but doesn't care about the damage. Look elsewhere for a torque wrench.
