    Best method / compound to permanently attach rail to scope ring ?

    I'd hedge my bets and use retaining compound or epoxy along with the match drilling and pinning that we both suggested. I meant to add the suggestion for bonding along with pinning in my earlier post. The pins alone should be sufficient, but pinning and bonding is even better, although it will...

    Rifle Scopes Vertical adjustment after zeroing

    LHT has ~22 mils total elevation adjustment, but you can only dial up 11 mils max from zero if the zero stop is installed or up to the maximum limit of the erector travel, whichever is reached first. With zero cant in the mount, the scope will probably have somewhere around 9 mils of elevation...

    Best method / compound to permanently attach rail to scope ring ?

    To be pedantic, their name specifically says zero compromise optics. It does not say zero compromise optics, scope mounts, and diving boards... Marketing decided naming the company ZCOSMADB didn't go over well in the focus group, so ZCO it is. Thus, they're still in the clear, even if their...

    Best method / compound to permanently attach rail to scope ring ?

    Diving board has the ZCO logo on it. While their scopes may have zero compromises, it appears you can't say the same thing for their diving board design...

    Best method / compound to permanently attach rail to scope ring ?

    I would match drill, ream, and pin the ring cap and diving board with 2 pins if I wanted to take the hard way, and if I wanted the easy way I would buy a different brand mount with a better diving board attachment design. If you want to cheat use some loctite retaining compound between the...

    Straight-pull bolt action

    It could be the lug face to bolt face dimension isn't held to a tight enough tolerance between actions for shouldered prefits, hence the reason for the barrel nut and the tenon print not giving a shoulder dimension. Would need to find out from strasser if the recoil lug to bolt face dimension on...

    Rifle Scopes S&B 5-25 vs 3-20 US at 20x

    I'm talking about the full length 3-20 because that's what I have several of. I've looked though a 3-20 US and found it gave up some image quality, eyebox friendliness, and dof forgiveness compared to the full length 3-20. The 5-20US I looked through on the same day was a bit better than the...

    Rifle Scopes S&B 5-25 vs 3-20 US at 20x

    Agreed, the 3-20 is an excellent hunting / crossover scope, the FOV and mag range really hits a sweet spot. My 2x 3-20s that aren't currently being used may get installed on my 2x lightweight hunting rifles even though they will add about 11 ounces over the 4.5-22 LHTs that are currently on the...

    Maggie’s Motivational Pic Thread v2.0 - - New Rules - See Post #1

    Lol, I've seen that very car in person. Extra mufflers are to make sound restrictions for Laguna Seca. I've seen a lot of crazy stuff hung off the back of cars there over the years in the name of keeping things quiet enough not to get black flagged for noise. Someone else I knew used what looked...

    Rifle Scopes S&B 5-25 vs 3-20 US at 20x

    Can't speak for the OP, but for me the tremors are just way too cluttered with too many lines and dots for small varmint hunting, too easy for a target or miss splash to be obscured by the reticle, especially the T3 with those big solid circles. Granted, I've only looked though a couple of them...

    Rifle Scopes S&B 5-25 vs 3-20 US at 20x

    It's too bad they discontinued the full length 3-20 because it's a very good scope, quite a bit better than the ultrashort that replaced it IMO when it comes to eyebox, dof, and image quality. One of my favorite scopes. Very usable mag range, huge fov on 3x and good AFOV, very good glass across...

    Straight-pull bolt action

    How did strasser handle the cocking on these? Are they 100% cock on open when the bolt handle pivots, 50% when the bolt handle pivots open and the other 50% on bolt close, or does the bolt handle pivoting rearwards only unlock the collet style locking lugs and it's 100% cock on close when you...

    BOTH SOLD 10/6 Have 2 mint M-Brace mounts for sale. Original boxes, instructions, and levels included. Both are 34mm, 0 MOA, 38mm (1.5”) height. Selling because I changed stocks and the new stocks don’t have enough cheekrest adjustment to get comfortable with the 1.5” height even with the KMW...

    AT-XC bolts are not compatible with AT/AW bolts

    Chances are bugholes won't do an ATXC 223 bolt, Greg mentioned a while back once the last couple of AX/AT 223 bolts are gone he's probably going to stop offering them because too much fiddling is needed to make them run. If he's going to hang up the AT/AX 223 bolts I doubt he'll go through the...

    Firearm stocks

    Per the new UPS polices, a stock is considered a firearm product, and can now only be shipped by a shipper with an FFL that also has a signed firearm product shipping agreement and specific firearm product account with UPS. While you can ship it as an individual, if something happens in transit...

    3-20x50 SB PMII (std) MTC Lockable Problem

    While that can happen, the more common reason for this happening on the MTC/LT turrets is the 3rd (plugged head) knob retention set screw is just a smidge too tight so it drags the spindle along for the ride moving the reticle when trying to zero the turret even though the other 2 (unplugged /...

    Show off your Manners PRS-TCS Stocks

    Weird, I don't have that issue on either of my TCS and I have the manners knobs on both the butt hardware and cheek rest... they all hold tight. Is the shoulder on the knob interfering in your stock somehow and not contacting the clamp bar? The other option if you want to stay hex key free is...

    Show off your Manners PRS-TCS Stocks

    I have the original manners steel rail with full weights on my first and older TCS, and the 360 steel rail is on my early 2023 production TCS that came with the smooth aluminum rail. The old manners steel rail with full weights is within 2oz of the 360 steel rail, so it's pretty much a wash...
