Scope mounting loctite or not?
Rokslide green loctite (between red and blue) or nothing. -
Scope mounting loctite or not?
You just argued about arguing. This topic has been discussed on this forum in probably 50 threads or more which is why Unlucky posted what he did. You came in claiming things as facts because “you’ve been around the block”. In my experience, just about everything you’ve posted in this thread... -
Scope mounting loctite or not?
Whether you “baby” your rifle, throw it on the ground on purpose, or somewhere in between, I’ve found that blue loctite on all screws in the rifles and scopes has helped me personally. I’m more of a “baby” kind of guy. I regularly wipe them down, use sharpies and paints to fix chips, etc. try... -
.223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.
Not really in my experience at all. For me, when looking at a rifle, I observe 3 things in order of importance to me... Long term reliability, long term repeatability, and accuracy throughout the life of the barrel. Nothing really comes close to Sako and Tikka rifles in my use cases. I've... -

Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 new model
Went out into the desert in the Jeep scouting and to watch the sunrise this morning. Brought both the Tikka/Maven rifles along as always these days. Stopped at a nice clearing on my way out, a few miles from the main road, taped a couple paper targets up on a mesquite tree. The vast...- mxgsfmdpx

Tips for Leveling Your Scope
18 inch lbs of torque on scope ring caps is laughable in a field rifle. I would say any scope ring or scope manufacturer recommending these specs needs their heads examined. 60 inch lbs/blue loktite for ring bases to action and 35 inch lbs/blue loktite for ring cap screws has proven to be... -
Masculinity and Caliber Choice
It's a stretch when the argument has to shift all the way to Texas heart shots and spine shots to try and justify your "side". Also grand assumptions about the results of the aforementioned shots because a projectile might be "larger" being the basis for your conclusion. Just wow. -
Masculinity and Caliber Choice
So you're saying that your 300 win mag is going to "anchor" both of those elk with a spine shot every time? Very interesting assumption. -

Okay I see. Thanks for clarifying. -

Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 new model
Just curious... What hunting/shooting situation requires more or less "zoom" than the RS1.2?- mxgsfmdpx

Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 new model
I had that problem with the SWFA scopes but haven't seen it on the RS1.2. When I was having the issue with the SWFA I found that cycling the bolt faster/harder relieved the issue for me. Not going crazy or anything but just being more deliberate about it helped a lot. I also ended up removing...- mxgsfmdpx

Masculinity and Caliber Choice
I was a .308 and .30-06 hunter forever, it’s what I was told to use on big game and I listened. I made the switch to match style bullets out of my 6mm and 6.5mm varmint rifles for killing all game sizes about 15 years ago now. I’ve mixed it up with some 7mm variants over the years but I can... -
