    Scope Ring Torque Spec's?

    Almost everything I have used that I can remember has been in that 17-20 in-lb range for the rings and the 25-30 in-lb range for the bases, except when using #4 or #6 screws. If I remember correctly, the #4-40 screws on a mount for one of my .22 rifles were supposed to be around 12ish in-lb, and...

    I had a dream...

    Well, I'm no metallurgy expert but I have some limited experience with properties of dissimilar metals from work. Unless the metal is unfinished, I wouldn't think that there would be a problem. Both should have parkerizing, powder-coating, Duracoat, etc, etc., which to my understanding is all...

    The Meopta/Nightforce Truth

    Good to know that about the TS-82. I had read that rumor but wondered about it. Anyone know if the same is true of the TS-80? I just picked one up on sale for just under $1100, which as far as I have been able to tell is at least a couple hundred better than anywhere else right now. Wish I could...

    Ruger Skeleton Makeover

    Looks like a nice makeover. +1 on the boat paddle stock value. I've restocked a couple Rugers and kept the boat paddle stocks for that reason.

    Which one is better?

    I think that Vortex makes good stuff in the high end of their product lines. I have had very good experiences with them and I will undoubtedly purchase more. In the mid to lower end, I don't find their products to stand out radically over competitors' products. You get what you pay for, and I...

    Best sling for a mountain rifle?

    Any quality made quick-adjustable sling that can be used for shooting. I really like the Magpul MS1. Montana slings are really nice if you don't like synthetic. Haven't tried that Vickers yet but it looks promising.

    $1500 300 win mag opinions?

    I have some Remington 700s (cause really who doesn't have a few laying around) in various configurations, and I have a couple Sako rifles as well. I have a Sako 300 win mag based on the M995 action and it is one of my very favorite rifles. Personally, I agree with @7layerburrito and I doubt you...

    Solid reliable rings

    I Loctite my base screws, but I have found that many manufacturers say that their torque recommendations for rings are based on dry threads. If anything that can act as a lubricant is used when torquing screws, then it will change the clamping force as compared to dry threads. I do not use...

    Venderbrink of Federal, CCI etc. on Ammo shortage

    I have always had a minimum stock level of ammo for every firearm. Guns without bullets are just expensive and poorly designed paperweights. I don't buy during times like these. I bought all the ammo I needed while it was plentiful and prices were good, so I wouldn't have to pay the current...

    The $50 fee?

    I'm paying the price for access to the classifieds, as well. I am a longtime member of a local hunting and outdoor forum here in GA that has the exact same rules. I personally see absolutely nothing wrong with this policy.
