    Scope mounting loctite or not?

    That is an extremely poor analogy. Your analogy is akin to a couple of people saying that they have smoked three packs of cigarettes a day for 40 years and don’t have cancer or lung problems- so the people saying not to smoke three packs a day are dumb. A zillion rounds fired? Can you show...

    AR triggers

    Ehh. I haven’t seen a lifespan of any Geissele 2 stage SSA based trigger, Larue MBT 2 stage, or LMT 2 stage. That’s with quite a few triggers with over 100,000 rounds on them, and lots with 30-50,000.

    What action is that on? The 223?

    AR triggers

    The issue with RRA 2-stage triggers is longevity with high round counts. They wear out and start failing. They were pretty common 20 years ago in certain places, but under use there were enough failures that they all got pulled and no longer used. They are a good feeling trigger, and for...

    Training rifle caliber/ are they worth it?

    Ahh. Yes, it’s a good choice.

    Training rifle caliber/ are they worth it?

    The short answer is a Tikka T3 with 1-8” twist, cut to 18” and threaded for a suppressor. Every other option has heavy compromises in function.

    Scope mounting loctite or not?

    I can all but guarantee that there were more rounds fired, with more legit experimentation, “testing”, and feedback before the Tikka rings were shipped to any customer, than any ring in history. The engineer that did the calculations and developed the torque specs, that we then went and proofed...

    Scope mounting loctite or not?

    Yes. 55in-lbs on base screws, 28-32in-lbs on ring cap screws. These torque values were correctly figured using the correct clamping force for the respective screw size. All of their screws are degreased prior to shipping, and yes to thread locker. UM now degreases and thread locks (blue...

    Do you fully degrease your screws?

    Do you understand that oil creates a higher torque than Loctite?

    Scope mounting loctite or not?

    What wrote is factual. The K value of Loctite is less than the K value of any common oil that comes on screws. Oil’s sole purpose is to allow screws to be easy to loosen- the exact opposite of what someone that cares about zero retention wants. Rifles don’t shoot tight- they shoot loose...

    Does that mean you can’t show a clear picture of your heavily used, non babied, drops, and bumped muzzleloader?
