Yes, I have done those things and am spinning the polar scope in v block and with the screws snug I can watch the center move in my target which is 30 feet away.? I just had a thought, there is what looks like a small amount of patroleum jelly around the edge under the keeper, perhaps the screws are not moving the reticule to a secure position but the screws are pushing against the resistance cause by the patroleum jelly.? Then as gravity pulls on the reticule it slides in its slot.
I have seen the instructions on the Company Seven website, I'll check out the Orian Atlas as well thanks.
