[QUOTE="Tac-O, post: 1832365, member: 109994"] I REALLY want to not clean my barrel at all... but I'm terrified of getting that layering of copper/carbon/copper/carbon that is apparently really hard to remove. So I'll give it a few more efforts with only cleaning with hoppes to get the carbon out. As far as scope goes, I don't have another scope to put on and test and am very hesitant at this point to dump money into another scope. I wouldn't mind selling my vortex and trying something else, like an SWFA since it sounds like those are pretty bullet proof, but it also seems like vortex doesn't resell all that close to retail since there's always so many sales, so many used ones for sale, and so many people claiming to have quality issues with them nowadays. I was thinking there must be a way to test my vortex scope that doesn't really on shooting. Are there any clever ways of mounting a scope to a board and subjecting it to shock such as what it would experience during recoil and being able to check if it's maintained zero? I don't do any dialing with the turrets at all, so they're out of the picture. If it's my scope, it's either the scope itself or it is slightly shifting in my rings. [/QUOTE]
