A Saddle mount that is. Helped out at a sight in for some fellas with impairments at the Club tonight. One fella had a side mount weaver with a cheap Simmons scope I never did get to do anything consistently. He was happy when he left because he could unscrew the mount and we got his gun shooting 2-3 in groups at 50 yds with open sights. The guy could shoot...his "handicap" was a POJ scope and mount I think.
The other fella had a 1100 that "always shot well". Until tonight. The first three shots fit under my fist from a leupold VX-I. Then they started stringing up and all over. I had to argue with the hunter and a couple of my buddies to get them to check the mount. "Well what do you know.....it is loose :? :roll: So, the fella snugs them up with the wrench I provided and then the action wont operate, we loosened up the screws a quarter turn and it worked fine. shot ok again, but needed adjustment. He also refused my offer for lock tite. :roll: Dont understand peoples faith/ preference for those things. I understand cost is a factor but, hunting is an expensive and rare endeavor for most of these guys. Wish I could convice some of them, or they could afford better equiptment. CL
