I was working on my deer rifle today - getting it ready for season (November isn't THAT far away!). As a part of my maintenance, I decided to pull the scope off. Last year I had some serious inconsistency with my shots. While I may not be a world champion long-distance shooter, I'm a fair hand at putting a nice group together out to about 200 yards. For some reason, I would get consistent groups at the range then go back to my farm, put a few more rounds down range, and need to re-adjust my scope.
Well, guess what I found when I pulled off the scope? There were wear marks on the under-side of the forward end of the font mount and the screw was quite loose.
I re-installed the mounts and rings adding a little blue Loc-Tite. We'll see how the groups hold together now.
