I’m not a professional welder by any means, but I’ve burned lots of rods and mig wire and I don’t think that scope rail is going anywhere, or that those welds are absolutely awful looking. I can be a perfectionist with my work as well, so I hear you. I may have been a little more smart assed than I should’ve been. Not in this light caliber application but in a heavy recoiling gun things could be different. Practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect. I was simply stating that if I were welding it I would do it the right way. Walter there's a right way to do things and a easy lazy way to do things. I’m very impressed, we all know mounting a scope rail is an extremely “high stress” application. That's how you eliminate potential crater cracks in high stress applications. The tig welds are adequate but if they were welded by me or on my watch the beads would start on each end and bowtie in the middle. Nice to have a "built-in" zero stop, though, as it's pretty easy to bottom out the erector with a reasonable zero. One thing I like about the 3-9x is that it shares reticle subtensions with the 6x, so it makes transitioning fairly seamless, aside from the difference in erector travel and adjustable parallax. Throating was on the money,as was Alpha neck clearance and I need to score a Montucky donor to build a Flyweight Bitch. Were I not in a hurry,I'd of swapped rings around,to see WTF it did to windage.Īll in all an VERY good call,with zero concessions. I miss the 6x MQ's parallax,finer reticle and 10 extry mils on the erector,but will slum it as configured,as a fhuqking Sleeper. 5 Mil high at 100yds,which equates to a 250 zero.
7 Mils to the right of mechanical center and when ele was bottomed out,it put.
Rifle is Skookum,beings it's yet to be bedded and the right proper trigger weren't in today's Mail.ĭidn't even tote the chronograph and simply ballparked 3175fps with 88gr Smooches and DOPE was on the money,to 1300yds. Wind blew up,as ceiling lifted and never got out past the 1300yd line.
