I know this is no longer for target shooting, or even a rifle, but I have one sitting in my shotgun cabinet that I never use, anybody have any idea if it’s worth anything? Smooth bored to .410, plate welded in across the mag slot so it’s single shot only. Mag outer can be removed still if you wanted to Ta in advance John R

That is ludicrously cheap

Thank you. I checked the play between upper and lower this afternoon. I clamped the barrel in a vice, with a laser red dot in the barrel, and twisted the upper, checking the movement of scope/upper against lower/barrel. It’s a really good idea, but it’s not the solution. The deflection at 50yds is less than an inch, and as soon as I release pressure on the upper it goes straight back to correct zero. Thank you

I’m not, I know, but thanks.. The digital wrench prevents that. Again, Thanks

I have an electronic torque wrench, so I’m not over tightening anything, and I didn’t star pt checking until the zero started drifting, good idea though. i think you’re right, I’ll need to shoot some groups, then give the scope a hand whack and see how it responds. At the moment I’m inclined to think user error somewhere, but where I don’t know

I took the rifle out for a half hour drive to see if that was upsetting something, it doesn’t seem to be. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thanks for the reply, I’m talking to Vortex about it. I like the idea of another scope, but it would mean borrowing one for a week or more, the only other scope I have I’ve only used once so don’t know for certain it’s absolutely right (it’s a 4-16x44 Vortex Diamond Back) Great idea though

One of mine, it’s a reproduction of a watch made in the fifties for the Egyptian navy.

Afternoon peeps. I not sure this is the right section, so bear with me please. I have a potential issue with a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8x FFP, Primary Arms cantilever mount and wondered if any body has any observations or ideas. Scope is on a .22lr KRISS Vector with a shortened barrel. Barrel has been correctly re-crowned and re-proofed, shooting is from a bipod. The issue is zero is drifting between sessions. Everything is torqued correctly, but every new shooting evening I have a large discrepancy in both elevation and windage. Gun is cased immediately after use, transported approx 20 minutes in the car, then straight back in the safe. It’s only being shot at 25 and 50 yards, shooting between 50-200 rounds per session. Mount to rail and scope to mount are correctly torqued, I check every time the rifle comes out. Barrel has been off to be shortened, but is also correctly re-installed by gunsmith, It’s not loose.During every session, once re-zeroed, rifle is spot on, very very tight grouping, no drift Short mags, nothing being leaned on Any and all suggestions gratefully received. ta in advance John R
