    Scope mounting loctite or not?

    I had some more thoughts on this over my beer on the back porch. The way to really do this right within the contraints of what most of us have to work with would be to make the only removable interface be between the rings and rail. In the event you need to change the scope, toss the rings and...

    Scope mounting loctite or not?

    You jest, but green loctite is retaining compound which is made for fitting bearings and is some nuclear grade stuff. I've contemplated putting it on my scope tube but i aint that worried about all this. It would work wonderfully for that. Would also be great for bonding the rail to the rifle...

    Scope mounting loctite or not?

    Do I smell a market for hydraulic scope ring stud tensioners??? Jackbolt tensioning nuts for scope ring studs? This whole thing has always been stupid to me. Make it all with the means to pin the base to the rifle, the ring to the base, and the scope to the ring. Everything would have to be...

    Scope mounting loctite or not?

    I use blue loctite for practically everything. It's great stuff. Scope mounts, lug nuts, kids toys. EVERYTHING

    Gas Vehicles - Are you concerned new Biden Admin EPA regulations on gas vehicle emissions will restrict or negatively impact your ability to hunt?

    Where it would affect me is implementing automatic forced derates for emissions faults like the diesels have. That is dangerous, and a really scary thought to have that happen 1300 miles from home and 25 miles from pavement with a front bearing down on you.

    Montana Rifle Co. Junction 308Win Field Evaluation

    Cool, thanks. I have no intentions of messing with mine but I'm glad to see all the work and results. I wouldn't have thought to play with the bedding like yall did. My first guess would have been the barrel was just trashy. I never really paid any attention to bedding, stock fit, etc. Again...

    Montana Rifle Co. Junction 308Win Field Evaluation

    The bedding looked a lot like my BACO model 70 does from the factory, bedded at the tang, front lug, and a couple inches under the chamber. It shoots fine by my standards and doesn't seem to picky with ammo, about 1.5 MOA with everything. Maybe thats a little poor compared to what yall expect...

    Montana Rifle Co. Junction 308Win Field Evaluation

    Me too, but they aren't doing anything the rifle and scope companies couldn't easily do themselves. They just either don't do it at all or do it and elect to ignore the results. Still, major props to them for seemingly grabbing a random rifle off the shelf and not one that had been super worked...

    Alumahyde for barreled actions.

    It likes to clump up out the nozzle. If you don't have already, get a clean out nozzle from brownells. You'll need it if you ever want to use the paint again. Helps dramatically with the clumping.

    Alumahyde for barreled actions.

    One season in to my alumahyde job on a stainless rifle. A few scratches down to the metal, all from hitting the barrel on other metal stuff. Overall still extremely satisfied with it. I took the rifle apart, rubbed the whole thing with a scotchbrite pad, then squirted it with brake cleaner and...

    Cape Buffalo Packing Some Lead

    Well it ain't my cup of tea but those dudes did almost get trucked. Sure looked like he hit both of them the first shot

    Best short barreled elk caliber

    RL17 has been the best speed I've found with 250gr bullets.

    Is the scope a known good scope? Rings and bases installed correctly? How many shots are the groups?
