    Rifle Scopes Turret housing pushing forward on mount ring - problem?

    I agree with those that tell you to move the scope back and retighten the screws with a good torque wrench. I wouldn't leave the turret hitting the rind. Seems to me each time you fire your rifle it's added pressure on the scope turret against the ring.

    Scope Gurus: why don't scope makers have levels on their reticles?

    I had aa konus M30 6.5-25X44 with the same problem. Scope was decent but as noted level was useless.

    POF P308

    When the first came out they had a lot of reliability problems. A friend of mine sent his back to POF 3 times and it still never ran reliably. On the other hand I hand an early one and have never had a problem with it Accuracy ws good usually 0.8 moa 5 shoot groups at 100 yards.

    What am i doing wrong ?

    I would wait until you shoot 5 shop groups @100 yards rather than 3 shot groups, which don't tell me how accurate an AR is, before deciding how accurate the you're shooting is.

    What part of the rifle do you level when mounting a Scope - does it matter?

    That's the same setup that I use to level my scopes. Really works great.

    Optics Blurry - Are My Eyes Going Bad?

    t sounds to me like your eyes are straining which may mean you need to visit an optometrist for an eye exam and possibly need eye glasses. Your situation was similar to mine just fter I turned 40.

    Gap in rings when mounting the scope

    Almost everyone of my scope has some gaps between them. Some slightly larger than others but all very slight. As noted use a good torque wrench and adjust to scope manufactures recommendation. If you tighten them until the ring gap closes you may end up damaging the scope if you torqued over the...

    AI AT308 bolt face pitting

    With the cost of the replacement bolt $750 (Canadian) I'd definitely go after the seller if you haven't already done so. Even though you purchased the AT in 2021. I've been shooting for 50 years and have never seen a bolt face as pitted as your AT. 90 rounds thru it, horse lucky.

    AR-10 Loads

    If you want to use the primers that prevent slam fires CCI 34's are what you want for your AR10. CCI 41's for AR15"s. I use 38 grains of iMR 4895 in all my AR 10"s. Never had primer problems and is a very accurate load for me. YMMV.
