    T3 Alloy rings crushing scope?

    So I've heard of rings crushing scopes, but never seen it before now.

    My partner just got a new-to-her used rifle and found that the scope tube was crushed by the rings - front and back, both sides, visible and felt deformation. Can't imagine how much force they put the scope under to do it - looks like they did it repeatedly too. There are three distinct sections that have been clamped. Bit of a miserable surprise for her, but she's happy with the rifle at least.

    Looks like they're guncity alloy rings (www.guncity.com/tikka-t3-1-alloy-rings-309667).



    Is this a common issue with these? Is this simply a function of over-tightening or is this type of ring known for it? Am I just making a mountain out of a mole hill and need to stop worrying???
