    My First Rifle

    Re: My First Rifle Is that the simmons in the pictures that you posted? The only thing Ive ever had happen is the scope wasnt completely secure in the rings or to the base, just make sure everything is tight.

    My First Rifle

    My First Rifle

    Re: My First Rifle Yeah everything you've ever learned tells you to keep it lubed but there isnt any real heat friction build up when you operate your bolt. If it was your AR I would say yeah keep that thing oiled up. You got heat, you got friction and you can get wear. Just doesnt happen in...
