Re: The 2020 .30-30
Thanks for the comments boys. I realized the scope looks like it’s sitting quite high, and it is a little higher than I’d like, but it’s on QD rings (some Leaper quick detach that I had onhand). I’m still thinking I might want to be able to just use the barrel mounted peep when it’s ugly weather or in the event that the scope gets knocked, or? Not sure how likely I am to ever take it off though. I may just get some lower profile standard rings.
Does anyone have any experience with QDrings? If you do, and ever removed, and remounted your scope semi-regularly, did it actually hold its zero? There are definitely advantages to being able to pop the scope off and put it in my pack.

Re: The 2020 .30-30
I used them for a break down 10/20. The scope kept its zero. The rifle didn't.
I think they are still on it in the bug-out carry bag it came with.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: The 2020 .30-30
The wood grain on your rifle is beautiful! Also looking forward to range report!
BTW, I made a rifle rest very similar to yours many years ago. It still works great for minor work and display. The Fat Wrench is great to have as well. A must IMO. Got one of those too.
Hope your set-up meets your expectations!

Re: The 2020 .30-30
You are saying the take-down portion of the 10-22 was not locking up correctly? But you were happy with taking the scope on and off without accuracy issues?Ojaileveraction wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2020 8:49 amI used them for a break down 10/20. The scope kept its zero. The rifle didn't.

Re: The 2020 .30-30
I made that box rest a long time ago. It was a boring day at work... I kept all my cleaning gear in it, and it has worked well for at least 15 years. The FAT wrench is a recent acquisition. I’ve got a few projects that will have a need for torque specs to be fairly close coming soon. I went to use it to mount the new scope in the rings, but of course didn’t have the correct size Allen bit, so used the stand by method of “feels about right”markiver54 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2020 11:12 amI made a rifle rest very similar to yours many years ago.

Re: The 2020 .30-30
Got my Fat wrench, at the time, for scope mounting as well. Guess I was lucky that the bit size I needed was included in the kit.
