I am a bit retentive on mounting. I open bases to 8-40s, use devcon 10110 to bed the bases (I do use release) and mount in the rings with proper torque.

Since going to this method and getting away from vortex I have yet to have a zero shift despite some ugly falls and a ton of rounds. My primary .270 is a little over 5900 rounds without a loss in zero, I will probably rebarrel before I rezero.

Hunt hard, kill clean, waste nothing and offer no apologies.
