mark williams 7,568 Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Well i went down to a friends gunsmiths today to buy some new mounts for the Mamba 4-16 x 50 rir scope bought last week from Viz, (Sean). Anyway he said to me always remove the stud pin on scope mounts going on pcp`s. Now i`ve never heard this or read it before. He said many a time these pins just work loose, you never notice they are loose and when a scope is removed a nasty scratch is usually there. Yep, remove them but save them, you dont need them on a pcp.( no recoil ) atb Quote Link to post

Tomorrow i will zero her to "strike a match" to 39 yards and then calibrate her . Absolutely love Mamba scopes mate the reticule suits my (over 50 eye sight ) shhhh !

Deker 3,491 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Good, so it`s not only me that has not heard this. Mac he showed me two second hand HW 100`s with stud pin scratches, so my pin is removed apparently this is nothing new to "gun dealers". atb Probably down to numb nuts leaving them protruding to start with or simply tightening them on to the rifle. I don't see why they should work loose, and even if they did why would they scratch? On the other hand if they are not required, by all means remove them anyway, and its a tiny bit less weight as well! 1 Quote Link to post
