Hey guys, been rather hectic around here the last couple weeks keeping 80 some odd pieces of cotton handling equiptment going that are scattered over 7 or 8 counties. Not much time left over for tinkering but I did get around to looking over the scope mount, nothing out of place or any wear detected. Probably gonna be a while before I get to do any shooting, or deer hunting, but I'll keep you posted. Thanks for the replies, VH.
