Thread: Dropped rifles ( in gun case )

Funny you should say that, but this has happen three times already. Twice were wallaby hunt down south and this recent oversea adventure. For the wallaby hunts, all our rifle that have scope permanently mounted on rifle has some degree of movement ( there were 5 of us) whilst the saddle mount maintain zero after assembly. Ummmm......

Ive heard Goats cheese is the way to stop this from happening.
Liberally applied to all metal work, mounts etc.

The up side is you will never go hungry while hunting but you may find yourself lonely

Maybe buy a torque wrench.

Iv got one but I dont know how to use it......

You swing on it till your elbow goes click

Torque wrench? Now, that's another story! One of our team member brought one but due to excess weight of his checked in luggage, it was put in his carry on cabin bag. Upon security screening, the torque wrench was deemed a weapon and confisticated by the airport security! There goes our torque wrench for the trip! All in all it was an over sight for me not to even check the screws with Allen key which we did have.
