Now I know your trolling:ROFLMAO:
Almost lost an eye, when muzzle break blew corn on my eye.

Seriously though muzzle break is an issue with real sand bags.

Other note, I really thought the muzzle break would be louder.

While I do try to make it fun, you must have a boring life on the internet.

Looking at the scope, I have to wonder has anyone ever had trouble getting the turret caps off, to warranty such cool looking caps? Like they are making these for kids

Literally laughed at this one. Then I thought of child safety caps for meds. Now that you mention it though, sometimes caps are made for old people with arthritis.

I also ordered a bag for stock to build cheek up a little. I am comfortable. But I do notice if I open my eyes I am looking low. I wonder if adds to inconsistent shooting. I have been looking at these for 2 months, finally just ordered one. Triad was mentioned a bit here. Though they have been out of most colors for a long time.

I also wanted a bag on stock for wrenches. Never used them in field, but will make me fee better building a kit for each rifle. All my trucks and bikes have their own tool kits.

Allen or torx. I've never had a loose screw, on a rifle. But I'd like to have the proper size with each.

Get you an inch lb torque driver with a bit selection, you're gonna be busy going back and forth testing. Good excuse to gain some tools.

Medium with a full sized rail is gonna be pretty tall. Those Warne Mountain Tech rings are nice too.

I've got lots of tools torque wrench for scopes too. I meant to carry on the bike. Leupold come with a wrench to fit products carry that in butt stock bag is my plan

I got medium rings but wonder if I should go low. I am returning Warner. I ordered Leupold with screws on both sides.

With rail maybe it is high. Ordered set of lows.

a/k/a peek-a-boo mounts.
I take them off used rifles I buy and throw them away.
Some of the old timers seemed to like that. I think fear scope would break. Cool idea. But your head is high. I only shouldered one rifle 760 with them, oddly it didn't feel bad in store.

Another option is to carry the wrenches to pull scope.

I think another reason people get them is if scope is full of snow.

Peek a boo must be a local vernaular.

I was reffering to top mount, which is just weavers scope ring. One side hooks and other bolts. Probably just fine. But I don't like it.

Mounts with the hook on one side are awful. They rotate the scope as you tighten it down.
