What I've discovered is that the dovetail clamps on my mount won't accept an actual Vixen dovetail. The typical black Synta dovetails have angled edges and my clamps are designed to match. It seems an actual Vixen dovetail is different.
I found this out when I got my Tak as it came with a specially made ring adapter that is designed to fit a Vixen mount. However, only one side was angled to match my mount's clamps while the other was almost flat. So if I pulled slightly on the scope once mounted the dovetail would slip out on one side.
