[quote name='gregintenn' timestamp='1352860617' post='845181'] I wouldn't think you would have an eye relief problem, but in case you do, Weaver makes offset mounts to accomoday short scopes, incorrect eye relief, etc. As for the torque, just turn the screws good and tight without trying to twist the heads off. I've mounted close to 100 scopes, and never used a torque driver, and never had any problems. Chill out...you are way overthinking this. Let us know how the Ruger shoots. Oh yeah, you'll probably need high rings for that monster scope. [/quote] The only reason I think I might have problems with eye relief is because of the long action. Spread the scope rings farther apart and there is less wiggle room for a scope with little eye relief. I may try to see if any of my mechanic friends have a torque driver. Thanks for the response. [quote name='RED333' timestamp='1352865672' post='845264'] I just had to tell my Son the very samething with iron sights. [/quote] Yeah, I've been frantically googling all evening. I just need to calm down and see what happens. [quote name='Reservoir Dog' timestamp='1352870555' post='845313'] You may be able to get away with medium rings. I know several people who use medium rings with a 50mm scope. It all depends on the barrel profile, and the type of rings. I would give the mediums a try first, then move up to high if you need to. [/quote] I went ahead and ordered high Warne scope rings (.500"). I wish I had thought of getting the medium rings (.375) first that way I would at least know if they fit. Now I will got high rings that will fit for sure and no clue whether or not mediums will fit. I may order medium Warne's later and return them/sell them here if they don't fit. ----------------------------------------------- Thanks for all the help folks, I appreciate it. I'll be sure to post up some eye candy when everything comes together and maybe a few shot up targets!

I think I've gotten myself in a pickle here. Basically I've got a Ruger American on the way in the next week or so. It's chambered in .270 which is what I believe to be long action. I've also got a Simmons Whitetail Classic 6-20x50 scope on the way. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/746570/simmons-whitetail-classic-rifle-scope-65-20x-50mm-adjustable-objective-truplex-reticle-matte?cm_cat=Cart&cm_pla=ProductDesc While I have been researching what ring height I would need (Warne Maxima rings, low-med-high) I stumbled upon a review where the user had the same rifle chambered in 308 short action with the same exact scope. (Still not sure what ring height I need, I want it as low as possible.) http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?p=5109851 He mentioned having a problem mounting the scope far back enough to get proper eye relief. If I am not mistaken, am I basically screwed with a long action? The scope is 14 inches long so I figured I wouldn't have a problem mounting it. It has a 3.75" eye relief which is normal from what I understood. I have been researching for hours now in how to compensate for this potential problem. Is having a long action actually THIS problematic or am I seeing a problem where there isn't one? PS: By the way! I also read another review that said when you mount a scope in the rings that you need a torque driver set to 20lbs so its tight enough without being over-tightened. Do I really need one? I don't want it loose and flopping about. I also don't want to break my scope before I even shoot it! Damn a bolt action rifle... None of the other guns I've ever had were this complicated or caused this much stress.

I like what you all have said about the sport but to be honest an AR-15 just doesnt look right without a forward assist and dust cover, lol. Im sure its a great rifle though. Sent from my HTC Inspire using Tapatalk 2

And if you read what I posted and interpreted it as me saying I thought it was okay to shoot him for not answering the question; then there’s no point in you and I continuing the discussion.[/quote] Well put.

I was jumping up and down and pointing at the TV "DID YOU SEE THAT?! HE DIDNT HAVE A REAR SIGHT!" My friends were like what? Whats that? I facepalmed so hard. I finished the evening sitting in the shower holding myself rocking back and forth letting the hot water pour over me. The only thing that kept me going was that I had 100% faith that someone would post something on the forums about it. Thank you TGO Sent from my HTC Inspire using Tapatalk 2

Is the shop going to be rebuilt in the same place? It would be nice having a new gunshop nearby... in say... Murfreesboro? Glad to hear everyone is okay and good luck with the rebuild! I wouldn't mind putting in some elbow grease!

I've never gone hunting before but I've been considering it lately. I got on the computer today and did some research. Is it just me or is understanding all the state laws, rules, and regulations NOT worth going hunting? I don't understand why they make it so complicated. I was a police officer for a little while so I did a lot of studying on criminal law. Right now I'm in college and studying criminal justice. After about 15 minutes on the TWRA website I've given up and would rather go target shooting than even attempt hunting. I'm sure the actual act of hunting is difficult enough as it is with out all the rules and regulations.

They hurt just as much if not more than paintball. I only got hit once with it and it took skin off my knuckle. Learning how to shoot from cover! Based on years of playing paintball, never been shot with a BB gun though

You definitely need to try out a Crossbreed or something similar.

Yeah, the Surefire M600C is 200 lumens and also twice as expensive ($300ish) as the old Surefire M600. Like I was saying, lol.. Sent from my HTC Inspire using Tapatalk 2

Dedicated Surefire weapon lights are ridiculously over priced and severely underpowered. You'd be very hard pressed to see anything with only 100 lumens. I have no idea why their weapon lights are so behind the curve as far as technology goes especially with how badly marked up they are. Its not like theyre shielded for recoil. I feel a lot better about having an LED instead of an incandescent that can burn out at any second. Sent from my HTC Inspire using Tapatalk 2

I'm running a Surefire G2X Tac (200 lumens) with a pelican remote switch mounted on a Vikings Tactical mount. This setup is solid as a rock and BRIGHT! I think I paid $60, $15, and $25 respectively. I picked the G2X tactical for its brightness, battery life, cost, and single brightness mode. I picked the Pelican remote switch because... well its the only remote switch I know of thats compatible with Surefire lights. Vikings Tactical mount because its really beefy plastic, lightweight, and cheap. Good luck with your decision! Sent from my HTC Inspire using Tapatalk 2

This video is so wrong it makes me sick. This has to be the least scientific and most biased test I have ever seen. Proof that Concealed Carry permit holders live in a dream world

Im talkin about a real car lol Sent from my HTC Inspire using Tapatalk 2

As a former police officer myself from another state that issues ZERO handgun permits - Personally, I would REALLY think twice about ---ordering--- a citizen to handle a firearm simply because of liability especially with it being a stressful situation for the permit holder. You have to realize if any accident happens, its ALL on you. Could you see the driver accidentally hitting the horn? There are far too many things that could go wrong. You may want to rethink your routine.

I had to look up what an 80% is, very interesting.. Although it doesn't make any logical sense to me, lol.

Am I the only one who doesn't see any engraving? lol

If it wasn't for this I would go ahead and order one and say what the heck when I received it.
