[QUOTE="DocPDH, post: 2389239, member: 121525"] Many years ago had a Rem 700 with a scope mounted that was deadly accurate (1/2 groups w factory red box Federals). Was hunting black belt in Alabama when one of those bucks you dream about came trotting across a pasture field at 100yds...5 shots later he was standing at the edge of the swamp when my final shot was seen to hit about 3 feet over his head. I checked the gun and the scope mount screws had come loose. When I mounted the scope i had run out of lock tite and blew it off. Bad decision. Don't forget to put blue loc tite on all the mounting screws! Had one scope (el cheapo that came on a muzzleloader package) that lost its seal and fogged. Didn't cost me any critters, just replaced it with a Leupold. Scope and rifle still good now 20+ years. [/QUOTE]
