Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only The great 458 Winchester. Everyone should own one at least once

My final comments for today on scopes and mounts on a .458 WinMag:
There is no excuse for a scope sliding in the rings: Use silicone adhesive inside the rings.
With the QRW, only the lower ring half need be glued.
This makes disassembly and cleanup easy if your long-surviving scope needs to be changed in ring placement.
That only happens if it is not on a Near Mfg rail.





The .470 Mbogo above does 2700 fps with 500-grainers.
It can also be loaded down to .470 NE ballistics, using same loads as used in a .470 NE.
Same case capacity.
The lightning bolt checkering pattern on the forearm is my first and last self-taught checkering job.

You still need to use the silicone, but not the J-B Weld with a Near Mfg rail.
Using J-B Weld on a Near Mfg rail would really be gilding the lilly.
