Scotch_egg Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 I have used a couple of spuhr mounts and have never used rosin. No detriment in use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee w 118 Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Hi there if split scope mount in half,and use black electric tape on the inside of the sphur mount were the scope sits in,you will have no ring marks off the mount on your scope once you decide to remove. I do this on all my scopes works for me and saves you crying when you take the scope off to sell or clean Regards Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Rosin will not bind the scope to the rings making it difficult to remove. It causes an adhesion when under pressure. Nothing that can't be removed easily. I use rosin in my barrel blocks when I am having a difficult time removing and action. ~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
