Help me out... I rattled another nx8

figured with that kinda response you where

Was just a question. Did not mean to ruffle any feathers

Is this setup fixed affirmly? I always cringe when I see a bow or rifle strapped tight to a gun rack. No give, no cushion, that's rough on anything.

Is the set screw for the zero stop vibrated out and rattling inside the scope cap? Just curious. I recall that happened to a Mod here so now I carry the small Allen wrench in the gun go bag in the truck.

This was in a koplin gun boot with a padded sleeve. The boot may be worse than just racks as being elevated it gets to oscillating pretty bad.

I ended giving my gun boot away. Kept hanging on on saw briars and limbs

Id sell that machine first, I can only imagine what it's doing to your spine.

Sell a 4Trax? You sir, are on crack!

Dude, if there was ever a guy who needed backup iron sights it’s you.

Dude they’d rattle loose and fall off at this point.

Partially joking but also partially serious:
I saw one of these out in the real world this last week:

If you’ve dusted the internals on two NX8’s in the last year, it might be time for something drastic like this.

I can definitely see how the mount exaggerates movement forces by adding distance from the original point of pivot/movement. By strapping to the rack and or just setting in the truck bed or UTV box, there's still forces being applied, but its not as exacerbated as when the mount is used.

There's likely better options out there. Didn't gave it a lot of thought until reading through this thread. Any chance you can grab a Pic of the HF set up you're running?

Foam removed for pic of mounting, how to mount on your specific quad may vary.

I sling my rifle over my back on ATV rides.
