decided to get some practice in on my remington 700 build this afternoon. so i load up my gear and hopped in my truck and drove the half hour to the range. i get there and am pumped to see the 100yard range is empty! AND somebody left up a bunch of untouched targets at the backstop to save me a trip downrange!! SCORE! I get the spotting scope set up and start to unpack my rifle and ammo when the all of a sudden the damn scope falls off......
luckily I had my hands on it, so it was undamaged. the base of the ring looks like it had a defect in the metal and cracked right in half... so now i'm totally up shits creek and before i pack up i decide what the hell; i'll check the torque on the mounting screws for the bases. i get out the torque wrench and set it to 25 inch pounds and.....
needless to say i packed up and got the hell out of there before anything else went wrong!
