[QUOTE="specweldtom, post: 174587, member: 2580"] stx; sounds like a plan. Bondo would probably be fine, it's a lot stiffer and easier to handle. I don't know for sure, but the bedding compound might stick tighter. On the scope: I had a scope once that would move the reticle when I rotated the eypiece bell to focus it. It didn't tilt the reticle, it moved the whole reticle in a tiny circle. The ocular lense was cocked in the bell, but you couldn't see it. That scope nearly drove me crazy until I watched the reticle while rotating the eyepiece! I think a hard lick might be able to cause that, too. Try loosening the lock ring and rotating the eyepiece while watching the reticle. If the reticle moves, no question the scope will have to be repaired. BTW, I just guessed it was a Leupold, it looked familiar. My best scopes are Leupolds. Mr. Martin obviously knows how to build a rifle and you just might be able to shoot one. That's some fine accuracy. Good hunting, Tom [/QUOTE]
