Dog, with all do respect, I’ve been around a lot of rifles, mounted a shiit ton of scopes for folks, a lot of guys come out as I have 500 in the field, and I’ve never ever experienced shiit that’s posted here!! Never!! My ol man sat me at the loading bench when I was 12, been mounting scopes since then, guess I’m lucky???
As a aside, my smith, steve Kostanich, “google him”, installed a visa on a 338 rum lss first year they were made. Shot the [bleep] outta it , 3-9 Nikon ucc, shot 1/2” groups stupidly. Picked it up from him, he says how’d that rifle shoot? I says it shoots rather stellar. Steve says, “huh”..... I ask why, he says, well both base screws were sheared off on the rear base!!! Haha. That was after 2 bear and a few bucks gettin smashed.... ya I guess I am lucky, and yes, Nikon hold their zero too..... I guess I’ll just keep doin what I’m doin.... grin
