What's perplexing me is why is the mount tight? It's like it's on there with 10-15 in/lbs. You can try to wiggle in left and right and nothing yet the screws will turn.

No, you can feel that they're not. There's a small, maybe 1/16" section just below the screw head and before it gets into the thread that doesn't have any threads, like a raised area sort of.

Here's a few hastily snapped pics of it...makes me sick. I don't know what happened. I didn't strip it.

Blue thread locker. This is what the mounts look like. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/136213 ... uctFinding

I'm sure they're steel. They were included with the Leupold mount. What's taken me by surprise is why they won't tighten or back out yet the mount can't be moved. It's like it's been tightened but the screws will turn.

He's out of town till next week. Even then, he's retired and only comes in the shop sporadically. This is not good...especially a new rifle. I've never had any problem like this before and I've mounted my fair share of scopes. I knew something was wrong when the back mount screws wouldn't...

Yes, I pulled up on the mount but it won't budge. It's tight but not tight enough to hold I can't budge it. The front and back scews just spin round and round when trying to loosen or tighten. I had hoped to get both screws out, chase that front thread with a 6-40 tap but can't get them out...

I initially took the mount back off and tried the screws and they went in a little way and tightened. I tried again but the back screw wouldn't tighten when I put the mount back on. I had the torque screwdriver set on 22 in/lbs as recommended but it never ratcheted. Now I can't get it out nor...

I'm having a little problem with some scope mounts. I have the Leupold 2-piece DD mounts and DD rings. I mounted the front mount and then when mounted the rear, the taller of the two, the screws won't tighten, especially the front one it just keeps turning. I looked at all the screws and they...

I had never seen a barrel so marked and was curious. Thanks for looking at yours and solving the mystery. :)

These were my first synthetic stocks. Everything I've owned over the decades were always wood. You can't beat the look/feel of nice marbly Circassian or French walnut! That still holds true but I'm not shooting looks and after some research found the Predator Hunter Max-1 with the AccuTrigger...

Maybe someone "notched" it like in the old west notching was for kills made! That's the first thing that crossed my mind. I tried to find pics of another but didn't have much luck.

In my recent quest for a nice rifle in 35 Whelen I ran across this one. I'm puzzled, however, to the five dots after the abbreviation for U.S.A on the barrel in the last photo. There's also a series of dots at the other end. Anyone seen this before in a similar rifle...

Very nice rifle! Looks to be a 700 CDL-just what I'd like to have....that and the elk.

I thought I'd never see the day when I would be any rifle in a synthetic stock. Ugly to me and some looked like they got barfed on. I eat some crow when I bought this Predator Hunter Max-1 in 243. In fact, I liked it so well, I bought a clone in 22-250! If they had one in 35 Whelen I probably...

I hear you. Flying isn't cheap. I wish I had about ten acres in the country I'd just step out on the back porch and fire away.

You mean you're not willing to fly down? :mrgreen:

I positively hate the word "surgery". I went in to have an arteriorgram done Tuesday morning and they kept me until yesterday afternoon late. They wanted to do the complete surgery but I couldn't take it and asked to be discharged for awhile. They're going to have to strip one of my veins and...

If I had to get a new barrel I'd opt for a Lilja.

What would really round off a trip like that would be to be able to get in a little hunting while there. Well, if you're going to dream, dream big. I could just see the cross hairs of that Leupold scope centering just behind the leg of a record Caribou or Elk. Listening to the crack of that 270...
