Loose Scope

Post by **Shakey Jake** » Fri Mar 23, 2018 4:39 pm

JeBar noticed his scope was loose before we shot a couple of weeks ago. I noticed mine was a bit loose in the front while cleaning up the rifle after my outing today at the range. I have a Weaver torque screwdriver and I know I used the correct amount of torque when installing the scope mount BUT that's where its a bit loose. It's not the scope rings but the mount. So I guess I'll take the scope off and tighten up the mount before I take it out the next time. Anyway here's my target from today. (when it loaded the top is to the left) I also shot some steel targets with the P229 LR. It's always fun to shoot a .22 for some reason. I was doing okay hitting the steel 50 yard target but it's a bit bigger than the others.

impressive .... I'm going to have to totally remove the one on our 44 and reinstall it

Sure looks like you wouldn't be able to use sticky patches to repair that splash target, Shakey Jake.
Great shooting!

Thanks, I think the loose scope was the reason the group started shifting left and low.

Hey, loose scope or not, that's some fine shooting.
