I like FX products but I don't like their scope mounts for whatever reason and only use Burris XTR rings and will recommend them to anyone.

Anyone else have FX no limit Rings fail?
- Thread starter Bigragu
- Start date
Mine could not be tightened hard enough in the angle adjustment to secure a scope without ""gradually"" slipping down over time. I had to put a piece of sandpaper between those surfaces that press against each other in the rings to fix the issue. It literally took months and lots of wasted time and ammo to finally figure the problem out
At the same time my FX rifle was having other issues which compounded the frustration.
But mine didn't break like yours did.
Due to this issue and many others I'm not buying FX products anymore.
I hear this everyday. What was the gun's issues?
The FX Revolution that I bought new was so screwy that after 2 attempts at repair from the place I bought it from, and it failing once again, I brought it back and told them I didn't want the gun anymore because I hadn't even gone through two tins of pellets yet. This was over the span of almost a year. Talk about absolutely discouraging.
The other rifle came with most of the screws loose, the reg failed twice, the nut holding the barrel came loose more than once, so did the pellet probe, the C3 bumper failed, as well it has POI shifts. Not to mention the No limits rings problem.
Maybe I'm crazy but I come from the camp that when you buy a $2000 gun the damn thing had better work right and you shouldn't have to F with it.
The FX Royale I have has been a great rifle, nevertheless I'm done with the Co.

Yep, had that exact issue with one of mine as well Big Ragu. That's what I get for straying from my tired and true Burris XTR Signature rings. I REALLY like those rings, very solid. Bummer is that now they are also made in China....I HATE THAT!!!

I think of FX as an overpriced mid-priced gun with tunability but no dependability. Odoyle said it best yesterday with the Maverick discussion vs Impact...they are like Corvettes and Camaros...not 911s or Ferraris

MrShosted- those made in the USA? I like the options in colors. The 20moa is sweet, too.
Thanks for that tip

Amazon usually has manufacture origin in the write up lower on the page. Not there on this one. My assumption is that if it doesn't state Made in USA, it's not.
Few reviews, one not so good.

I mean if you’re looking for US made then we’re talking mounts that start at around $300. The only two that come to mind at the moment are Steiner and Geissele.
Edit: The Steiner P-Series is going for $136. Not offered with cant option for this model though.

I must have two dozen pairs and have never had that happen, I torque to 15 and even on the .35 IMPACT they never move.
If you use a scope with a large saddle on the CROWN or DREAMLINE CLASSIC the choice of rings is very limited to clear the mag, EAGLEV are IMO ugly! so are Sportsmatch especially in PIC style, dovetail not so much.

The problem looks like a grain structure problem. I can't see it clearly enough to tell. It looks like a very slight radius on the inside of the clamp, where it contacts the outside of the weaver base rails edge, would alleviate the problem by spreading the stress over just slightly more area. It was probably over tightened, but not in scope mount terms, but in terms of THIS disign, if you know what I mean. In other words, this design does not allow tightening as much as a proper design.
As I said, I can't see for sure, but I would show those pics to FX and politely ask for some help with a new set. Those mounts are not cheap and shouldn't be breaking. I would wonder if it's a chronic problem or just a one off.
Good luck with your solution.

No limit mounts have a small screw under the clamp to raise the mount and help hold it in place before you do up the 4 mm bolt
