[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1496860, member: 30902"] Bedding and pinning would be easier and more effective. Even the 8x40's have very little resistance to shearing force. A single pin the same diameter would be about as strong as three or four screws. Put a pin and a screw of the same diameter in a vice. Strike each one with a hammer from the side and you'll see very quickly what I mean. You'll bend the pin and you'll snap the screw. [/QUOTE]
