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.- Choupique

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

Is the scope a known good scope? Rings and bases installed correctly? How many shots are the groups? -
Nemo Bags
Never tried it. I ordered mine with the big agnes pad that was made for it. There isn't really anything under it besides some thin little stretch corners. I can't imagine they'd be a bother without the pad. The bad doesn't have any down in it on the pad section which makes good sense to me but I...- Choupique

Nemo Bags
I like my big agnes anvil horn 0* I like how the sleeping pad is captive on the bottom of the bag so I don't roll off. Temp rating might be a little optimistic - I had a big wool quilt on top and puffys on inside once the temps got below zero to stay toasty warm. Nice bag for the price though...- Choupique

Ice/snow comparison between rifles
Since I had an incident a few years ago where I couldn't load my model 70 due to ice in the chamber, I always dry fire my rifle a few times in the morning if it's got any sign of frost on it. Don't know if it does anything but it makes me feel better. -
The New Leupold Mark 4HD?
I had to rezero a tikka .308 w/ vx3i leupold last week. Fell out of the stand, hit a chunk of iron on the way down. Gouge in the barrel and a dent in the scope bell. It was like 8" off from zero at 100 yards. I honestly was impressed. The scope seems fine. Stuff happens, even for the average... -
