    I'm aware, I've had many.

    Rifle Scopes Stripped Spuhr Screw

    This thing's only a .308. Have never run a brake before on a caliber this small but figured why not, can't hurt. I have never even remotely heard anything about brakes damaging accuracy. Going to be kicking myself if this is it.

    Builder got back to me today. We have a plan of action that hopefully, weather and Covid permitting, we get to try this weekend. Builder insist that sometimes the brake can do whacky things even without any direct contact by the bullet. So first is pull the brake, then I'll swap scopes, then...

    Thank you. Email went out to builder on Saturday and hit him up via Facebook Messenger today. No response yet, but will see what he says first and go from there. I won't be able to get to the range till at least this weekend, so have some time to get his opinion.

    MHSA finally opened, looked me up in their puter (I did buy the Spuhr from them), and is sending out a screw free of charge. Nice folks them. Thanks to all how recommended I give them a call.

    That's fair. Double-ear pro doesn't seem necessary as my plugs do a great job of sealing things off, sounds is more than comfortable. But the blast to the face one gets might be worth a little something. As far as the brake causing an issue, I've looked at it carefully with a torch looking...

    I would tell you to look at your own posts, but there's that whole illiterate thing you've got going on.

    It's where I did my zero and load workup/groups you half-wit. I'm not driving two hours to SheepDog for that. And I didn't originally put you in the illiterate category. My bad, no worries, I've added you.

    Rifle Scopes Stripped Spuhr Screw

    I've done far more than triple-check my screws for torque. Those few dozen hours I mentioned pulling everything apart, most of that was removing and re-torquing everything down a few times. What I said 'no' to, was one person's suggestion of torquing things down higher than recommended by...

    $2200 or $8500, it doesn't make a difference. She will always see my hobbies as a waste of money and I will have a fight on my hands. I will always see travel (her hobby) as a waste of money and she will always have a fight on her hands. So if I have to fight, might as well fight for gold...

    Rifle Scopes Stripped Spuhr Screw

    Spent $1800 since I had a 50% off coupon but had to buy through Leupold direct. And yes, Cherry Ridge it fantastic. It has a dedicated .22LR range which is everything to my wife and oldest son since they don't like the volume/concussion of the bigger calibers. And while I'm sure there are...

    Gen 2 mini-chassis ... yes. Tapped rifle butt on ground a few times to seat the lug against the stock before torquing the screws. Did I use candle wax or a sharpie to verify that the lug correctly seated against the chassis? No, but I did what you're supposed to do in order to make sure the...

    Rifle Scopes Stripped Spuhr Screw

    No other rifles at this point in time. My youngest son has a rifle, but I don't count that as mine. I'm not a collector. My safe has what I need or what I can use. H&K VP9 is on my waist right now and is my primary firearm. I shoot about 20K rounds a year through it with lots of dry-fire...

    Rifle Scopes Stripped Spuhr Screw

    If this thing shot great at 100 then turned to shit at 300, I'd know it was me. But this thing won't shoot at 100 either, at least not what I'm expecting. I've got about 10K rounds of .308 under my belt at 2 and 3 hundred yards. I've got another 50K rounds of .223 at the same distances. I've...

    I have blue Loc-Tite on the cap screws as per Spuhr's recommendation. I don't have anything on the base screws, but they appear to be holding up just fine. When I'm done with this all and have the thing shooting right, I'll likely Loc-Tite everything just to be safe.

    Manners PRS-1 actually. Can you provide a little more color on what was wrong?

    Rifle Scopes Stripped Spuhr Screw

    Thank you, that's a kind gesture. Mine did come with extra cap screws, but no extra base screws. I'll call MHS in the morning and see what's what.

    Rifle Scopes Stripped Spuhr Screw

    Problem is finding other shooters. I live 20 miles outside of NYC, it's not like we're overflowing with shooting talent out here. Literally explained to one guy about two months ago how the knobs on his new scope worked and what they were for. Spent 30 minutes explaining what a minute of...

    Thanks for the suggestion. My Mark 5 HD is mounted up SOLID to the rifle. Applying rocking or twisting force with my hand produces nothing at all in terms of wiggle or even the slightest perceived movement. I'll be honest with you, I'm not going to try jacking up the torque on the ring...

    Yes, parallax was good. Made sure of that before I fired the first group (and do so any time I'm going for groups).
