Thread: Lost torch

No it was for real.
I had a H&K semi auto with Leopold mounted using genuine H&K QD mount. The mount has a single over centre cramming lever but no way of locking it down.
I was carrying it on my back in thick bush and think a vine/branch got hooked on the lever and released it.
Only noticed it missing when I got to a good hunting area.
Back tracked as best I could but there was a lot of crown ferns so would have been very lucky to find it.
When I told H&K what happened (was seeking solution to prevent reoccurrence) they "GAVE" me a new mount at N/C.
On the new mount I drilled a small hole in the lever and lock wired it closed.
