Is anyone else having a problem with firm mounting to your Picatinny rail? Mine won't tighten down enough and is still somewhat loose.

Hi Mike, I purchased 2 of the HD7 scopes and both if them mounted fine on my AR-22 and SR-22 rifles. No issue what's so ever.

Mike,I had the EXACT same problem for a day or so. Then, for some unexplained reason, the stars aligned, and it seated correctly (while I was making a video to email to Lucid to demonstrate problem, no less). Try turning the square bolts 90 degrees, 1 at a time, and check seating after you turn each one. For me, it was the REAR bolt that was giving me problems. Try mounting it on different rail spaces, too. Let Lucid know, ASAP, tho, so its documented. They told me (the "founder"), that they never heard of this problem. LOL. Mine sits tight now...go figure. Good luck.

MINE IS ROCK SOLID, i flipped my mounting bolts over to the left side, added a drop per bolt of red locktight and after getting it finger tight i ever so slightly tightened mine down a half turn or so past finger tight with a socket.. mines never budged. Even at finger tight mine was on pretty solid with no play or wiggle, is your rail aftermarket ? is it a el-cheapo or a quality rail ? is a factory rail on a AR ? im guessing the problem is not the optic.. however you never know. do other mounts fit you rail solid without issue ? contact Lucid.. they are flat out awesome to work with !

No Mike you might want to return it mine is mounted firmly & secured on the rail.My one complaint is the picture on Amazon shows a tan colored one & even though I received a message from the seller that Lucid makes only Tan & Black but mine looks O.D.Green

No. This has not been an issue for me on my M1A Loaded version. I have shot 500+rounds with this mount on.

I assume you do not have an existing picatinny rail. I had issue mounting as well, I actually turned the stud upside down through the picatinny rail that comes with it and mounted it into the bottom of my handguard. This allowed me to use the supplied rail. You will have to remove your handguards to mount the mini picatinny rail. Hope this helps.

Put mine in today, not quite the mag drop I was hopping for. I have 22/45 lite, the mag still hangs a bit. Seems to be very little tolerances inside the mag well. Any one else having that issue ?

I have mounted on AR 15 and it moves to much not a tight fit. Plan on returning it fits to loose on the rail

If it wiggles a mm it becomes useless. I have one mounted but just use it to sight in long distant iron sight shots. I've bought two different versions of these; both needed heavy dremmeling. I'd say try a side mount that screws into your stock

The rail was initially a bit loose on my GSG. I put two small pieces of electrical tape along the inside edges of the mount. With the tape in place, it tightened up snug.

Does the rear sight on your rifle have a pin through it so it can be flipped up and down? If so the it should but little advice. I put this on my number 4 I had to get a screw to put in the rear pin hole. Otherwise the mount moves to much.

I have to wad up a piece of baggie and wrap it around bayonet lug or its too loose. Other than that its awsome. As for yours you'll have to take the chance as i did!

I have a tavor and have had the same problem with other optics, acog, reflex sights etc. It seems that if the optic fits snug on another rail it will be to tight for the tavor. So just loosen up the tension on the QR

Yes i noticed that to. Mine does not do that. Its rock solid on the rail. I have been shooting 23/4, 3in shells and it has not moved at all and is still spot on. Hope that helps.

The recoil lockdown pins fit into the hole on the top of the reciever. This will stop the mount from sliding back and forth. If the scope is moving in the mount you can try some thin tape to provide a little friction between the scope and the rings. Also a little blue loctite on the screws really help keep things snug.

Marty shoot me your number I'll text you a pic of how mine is mounted. I used a picatinny rsil

I did not have a problem with mine,have you checked to see if the screws that hold the rail down are the correct length?

If you can't find anything that works, Get a good steel picatinny rail and bring it to your local machine shop and they will make whatever it takes to mount it. Anything can be fabricated. Where there is a will there's a way!

I would take the striped hardware comment with a grain of salt. I believe the mount is aluminum and like guns that have an aluminum receiver you need to use locktite and not over tighten. My buddy and I both have the same mount -one on a pre 64 the other a post 64. Neither of us had any trouble mounting this unit and neither has had any issues or needed adjustments since sight in (using the same load/bullet). I had to use locktite to make the mounts on my mini 14 stay on too and they're steel (good steel), so it doesn't matter which material you're going to have to use locktite anyways. I know sometimes you get a bad unit but I haven't seen one yet. People's mechanical skills vary keep that in mind. I would take the striped hardware comment with a grain of salt.

Check out the pin underneath the sight and also check to make sure you are aligning in properly (which I'm sure you have). There are only two other options after that if it does not work: 1.) Try to get a new rear sight or 2.) Maybe...just maybe, the picatinny rail you have is not compatible with the sight. Although if that were true then you would probably also be having trouble with the front sight. Good luck...
