[QUOTE="flintstone, post: 1810952, member: 39911"] Sorry, no pics. I don't want to display my awful groups. Anyway, I took my Savage 10, .308, 18" barreled rifle to the range today. It has an Arken 4-14 scope on it and a procomp muzzle brake. First thing is, Man is it LOUD! I guess it doesn't matter what you put on the end of it by way of brakes, it is gonna be LOUD. While I didn't notice this during firing, the scope was slipping in the rings due to recoil. I tightened the Burris rings to 20" pounds. When I got home, I could tell the scope slipped through the rings and was off. No wonder I was getting really crazy groups. So today was a bust. I don't know what to do about it as the recommended torque is 20" pounds. I don't want to crush the main tube or put it under too much force, but what do I do? Thanks to all who read and thanks to those who reply! Flintstone [/QUOTE]
