    New Sako 85S and cant find rings or bases

    Nothing is cheap once you get into Sako’s. Have you looked at the cost of a spare mag? They are great rifles but they are quirky, proprietary and nothing is inexpensive. As mentioned one of the big upgrades from the 85 to the 90 series is integral pic rails or using the Tikka dovetail.

    Any Maven coupons, codes, or upcoming sales??

    Maven will put the C series stuff on sale for major sales/holidays and they often offer free customization on their higher end stuff. They will do 10% off at outdoor shows in the winter time in person across the board.

    newbie duck hunter, give me advice on a super basic set of decoys

    Duck hunting is expensive when you start adding motor boats, private duck property maintenance and plantings or equipping yourself to hunt tons of different scenarios. For instance having an enclosed trailer full of goose decoys, a 20’ boat for lakes and large rivers and then smaller layout...

    Blue Loctite Alternative??

    The one I opened last week had a tube of Loctite 242 included but dry threads.

    Blue Loctite Alternative??

    Why is it that the rokslide approved UM scope rings ship with blue thread locker?

    Best 3 port brake

    SRS makes the best brake I’ve used. I prefer them to APA little bastards and others. I’m pretty sure they have some sporter sized ones.

    Blue Loctite Alternative??

    So it was likely a bad batch of thread locker that multiple people used. The solution was to then instead of getting a different batch, brand or similar thread locker was to use a completely different product not intended for the purpose. Was that because you couldn’t source another tube of...

    Blue Loctite Alternative??

    Yes there are standard designations Class 1, 2 & 3 thread tolerances. Class 2 is standard and class 3 is tighter toleranced. Once you get into the fits you have an H# to describe how tight the fit is between both threads. I’d have to read and add all the tolerances for given thread size and...

    Blue Loctite Alternative??

    If you have a singe failure its probably worth the $7 to get a different tube. It’s possible it was compromised or. Expired before you even got it. Loctite explains on their website how to read the date code and location of manufacture on their website. Other than that use the smallest amount...

    Blue Loctite Alternative??

    So the consensus is that people can’t follow directions so instead of using thread locker from nasa’s tool box we will use nail polish from Ru Paul’s makeup drawer because it’s more reliable.

    Blue Loctite Alternative??

    What do you think is causing anaerobic thread lockers to fail? Oil contamination or something else?

    Blue Loctite Alternative??

    So anaerobic thread lockers are a liability if they don’t cure but then why not use an externally curing thread locker like Vibra-Tite VC3 or Loctite thread locker tape?

    Ideas for next duck season…

    For what it’s worth I feel like Arkansas and timber hunting ducks is a victim of its own success and it not what it was in previous decades. It’s certainly not a great DIY option as Arkansas has become actively hostile to nonresident DIY public land hunters and the conditions that are needed for...

    Blue Loctite Alternative??

    https://datasheets.tdx.henkel.com/LOCTITE-242-en_GL.pdf Here is the spec sheet. Read page 3. I no less than 4 containers of “bad” that still work fine but adhesives are finicky things.

    Blue Loctite Alternative??

    For what it’s worth I’ve never seen loctite 242/3 not cure but if you read the technical data sheets the age and storage requirements are pretty tight. Basically Henkel says it’s only good for 2 years from the date of manufacture and if it has never been stored below 46 degrees F and above 82...

    Blue Loctite Alternative??

    Purple Loctite 222 is lower strength than Blue Loctite 242 and purple is meant for fasteners small than 1/4” diameter. That said I’ve never seen 242 damage a fastener on removal even on 6-48 screws.

    why you use 8x binos out west

    Improved FOV and the ability to handhold on hunts without a tripod are the best reasons.

    newbie duck hunter, give me advice on a super basic set of decoys

    For concealment there are a couple of options. First is to use your kayak as layout boat, much like a field hunting blind. Basically you brush your kayak with fast grass/real grass/native vegetation in a tennis net and laydown in the cockpit flat and sit up to shoot. There are various commercial...
