never put accoutrements on a hammer or a pipe wrench
i'd rather shoot more then worry about looks. leave that to the wimnens and their shoes Most shooters admire craftsmanship.

i admire dead critters
and skills to get dead critters. otc on public land preferably.
like i said, never dressed up a pipe wrench or a set of back up tongs, or my grundens.
funny thing is, i think a glock 17 is flash, same with a tikka superlite with an swfa 3-9.
but spending money on looks?? some dudes like chicks with bolt ons and war paint. not my bag, or should i say hag.

You know the guys that just think of them as tools, don't take care of them either. They look like a POS after they use them. I've seen it many times at gun shops. It's a shame too because they probably don't take care of other schidt like their house or cars either. I like the OP's fluting and Karl does excellent work. Thanks to the OP for sharing!!
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Karens will always find reason(s) to cry and that never ain't not funnier than fhuqk. Hint.
I'm into results,but it takes more than a notch in a bolt,to deter me. Though in fairness,the schit rings and schit glass are funnier than fhuqk! Hint.

Another Tikka fix, if no one has mentioned it, is buy a CTR stock on the cheap, take the plastic cheek piece off, put it on your standard stock, use Sportsmatch mid height 30MM rings on your scope, and alignment between eye and ocular is perfect.
At least one the three I have.

Max ring spacing,is a scope's BEST friend and extry surface area upon the ring proper,only bolsters integrity. 'Course a good scope is requisite! Hint. Fhuqking LAUGHING!..............

At least one the three I have. I like to use the ctr stocks and bottom metal on sporters. Works like a charm for curing coal issues for the 223’s. The ctr fits me really well so that’s another plus. I really like the sports match rings too. These scopes have more than enough travel for the distances I shoot. I did put a 30moa rail on the tikka rimfire and used the issued rail on the real ctr. The rest have got sports match.

That’s the same rail I used on the rimfire. Had to chop it too. The metal bottom metal looks nice too.
I’ll put the JO metal on the mini after work. Looks like it came in yesterday and I didn’t notice it.

I ALWAYS take a rail that is "too long",over someone's version of "good enough". Happiness is a close trim. Hint.
I want my action screws,cut from the same cloth,with FULL engagement and a trim. Hint.
The JO will impress. Hint................

Fhuqking LAUGHING!.................. LOL. I’ve taken a little bit of ribbing over those rings , we cool, I actually don’t mind that scope, does all I need it to do, But if that scope just disgusts you that much, Go into that closet of yours, grab a NIB Optic of choice and send her this way. Throw in one of those yellow paint sticks too……….And some mounts and rings if only obviously, Hint there…… TIA.

Some Campfire approved scope rings should of been received by the Op by know but even the post office in Oregon can fook up the simple task of sending a package

Queeneth,
I've happily given away more wares,than you'll ever have,but I'm no compelled to help the helpless. Hint.
Talking about shooting,is way more forgiving than actually shooting and you really should start a Thread,if/when you fire the first live round of this new year. Hint.

sportsmatch rings aren't pic rail and a good recoil level durable.
had two sets not handle drops.. add in 3 if you count t1x
pic rail and good rings solved that right quick.
i hate looking at a scope cattywampused with 40 mils elevation stock.. unless i'm actually going to use it. schit glass only gets worse. and my googlie eyes don't need help getting worse
as for looks. thats some [bleep] s schit right there. then [bleep] get all swooned out talking about smells. gayer then aids.
