Roger that...this is gonna be a whirlwind of stuff going on for a couple of months for sure. I know I ain't the first guy to do this, it's just new to me.

What rings are you using? How are they getting torqued down?

When I first set it up, I didn't have an in/pd torque wrench here at home....I just snugged it up good, I thought. HCWT told me some time back to use locktite and torque it down, and I didn't heed that advice. I'll not make that mistake again. The main issue though, was the mount to the rail. Spotter kept saying "to the right", and I dialed all of the lateral to the left and was still "right". Stopped and realized you could see that the scope wasn't in line with the gun. Repositioned on the rail a few times, etc...and then ran out of ammo.

Good morning guys.

I have an inch lb torque wrench, if needed. There are 2 different torque specs one is Dry, the other is Wet. Also make sure when securing to rail, the rings are forward in the mount.

I am out, SSS, then off with grandson to the cemetery then to the range.

Then some BBQ at the outlaws hideout in town.

I think it's a mount issue...the rings are forward, and I have a torque wrench I can bring home from work. I need to spend more time with the setup and find out exactly what is going on. Had fun though, my shoulder is a little sore..ha ha.

Have a great day, Lobo.

Happy day, gents.

Big plans today?

No, Sir. BBQ at the neighbors this afternoon....and doing property clean up in the meantime. While trimming tree branches the other day, one fell and hit my wrist...no big deal, bled a little. Today the spot was swollen up and obviously something was in it. Dug out a quarter inch long splinter...that was fun.

You got your overalls on and pitchfork in hand, Mr. Farmer? I hope your experiment is bountiful.

I probably have "tree aides" now or something. Is there a cure for that?

And why didn't we get an answer on how many 9mm cases fit into a 3 lb coffee can?

I feel cheated somehow.
