How will fluting the bolt help with feeding? Is there a reason for not maxing out the ring spacing?

Bolt fluting won’t make it worse, make it better? Who knows who cares, again it’s only an improvement. What’s your issue with the ring spacing?

not my rifle, not my issue..... just curious why guys don't take advantage of having a rail.....

What advantage you do think is being missed ?

Because you are right, it’s not your rifle, not your eye relief or really anything. But what bother you about what works for me?

 

[huntsman22]

uhh, max spacing, maybe?

In general, the farther apart you can get the rings the better. Your's are not up on the turrets, and are "fine" but not as widely spaced as they could be

Or are they? Can you please post a pic of your scopes please

Looks like you could move the front ring to the very furthest forward slot on the pic rail and can probably move the rear ring to the second to last slot on the rear of the Pic rail.

If that set up is completely properly mounted, decreased and loctite I wouldn't change anything now, it will be fine. But typically you want your rings spaced the maximum amount.

Previous page of this thread for mine.

The front ring is as far forward as possible for my eye relief, the rear ring is on the furthest back part of the rail without hanging over a little (wide rings)

General, the further you are from the electoral while maintaining your eye relief has a lower chance for damage to the scope and more reliable dialing due to not compressing the springs that hold the inner tubes in place.

To be clear, nobody is saying move the scope position. It just looks your rings could have both been one slot further from center without changing the scope position.

And neither ring is anywhere near your turrets, which is good.

How has that Arken done for you? I practice PRS with a guy who has had 5 of them for a long time. He says none of them have ever lost zero.

Here is a tutorial link from a guy that is highly respected around here. Note number 6). Now read that again. It really is a 'thing'.......

Thread 'Scope mounting to maintain zero'

Sep 29, 2017

After multiple requests for an explanation of how to mount a scope in order to have the lowest possibility of loss of zero, a discussion of a scope mounting video, and the latest thread about scope bases and action screw coming loose, I took some pics of what I do with a rifle when I get it and how I mount scopes (or anything with screws).

To start- a bit of background of why I say what I say.

I am a backpack hunter. What I write below is tailored to hunting.

Having sid that, I work at a place that fires a lot of ammo. I see over half a million rounds a year on average get fired...

I only have 8 of them, but they've been good. Boogers dial like they have eyes.

But what about the drop test?
