[QUOTE="dgr416, post: 91037, member: 1208"] I put clear fingernail polish on all my gun and scope screws I used the burris siginature zee rings on weaver bases.It worked on my 416 rem mag for 1600 shots without moving.I have not had my muzzlebreak come loose but the nail polish might work on there too.I have shot one of my guns about 400 times mostly with 350 gr bullets.I got 2850 with the 300 gr serria bullets with 100 grs of reloader 25 powder.I didnt want to get much hotter.I would start around 96 grs and work up.I could only use 109 grs of reloader 25 with the 250 grs bullets.I saw an article with loads up to 114.I shot one load with 112grs with a 250 nosler.It clocked 3250 fps but my bolt would not open.I had loaded only 5 rounds.I bbacked down to 110 and I still had an ejector mark.My favorite load is now 109 grs with about any of the 250 gr bullets but i like Nosler partitions best .They are accurate .I shot a .25" group at 100 yards and just about an inch at 300 yards.I use a 5.5x 16 power Nikon on one of my Weatherbys and a 6.5x20 Nikon..I like the 6.5x20 best because I dont have to carry my spotting scope .I use my binoculars to spot something then use the 20 power scope to look up close.I just wonder how far these guys on here drag these 20 pound guns they have.My rig with the 6.5x20 nikon is under 10 pounds loaded.I put a spongey sling and kane gun chaps on it.It protects the gun and is a little warmer than fiberglass stock.I let a 11 year friends son shoot caribou with it .He shot two caribou with 1 shot at 450 yards.It was an accident but he had two tags so it didnt matter.I find myself almost always hunting with these rifles unless its thick brush.Then I get my 416 rem mag out.
