6. And everything can be removed using a little heat.



Well.....those are six good reasons for not doing this minimally advantageous procedure.


After having to resight it in a couple times, I finally JB welded some Talleys to a Rem 700 in 7 Mag. Just to see how effective the JB Weld might be, I pulled the base screws out after it cured. Mounted a 3-9 Leupold and proceeded to sight it in, and shoot a box of rounds through it. It ran just fine, and once sighted in, it stayed sighted in through the rest of the box.... with nothing but the JB Weld holding the bases to the receiver. Pulled the scope, put the base screws back in, and that thing stayed sighted in for a long time afterwards.


You better pray to the God of Skinny Punks that this wind doesn't pick up......
