Just a little recoil.

The next question is, sometimes the scope rings have tape inside and sometimes they don’t.

I would think that tape would benefit from sliding and grip it better.
Is tape necessary?

Hey Crow don't feel bad, we've all made mistakes when distracted. You were just big enough to own it and share.

Thanks. You should see what I do for an encore. Crow

Not sure we want to see you naked, Crow.

I would never use tape in my rings, I do remember that as a selling point years back but never heard of any sucess with it. In all honesty one of my tricks is to use blue loctite in the ring. The loctite keeps the scope from moving but doesnt stick permanetly to the ring or scope tube !! It can easily be scraped off with your finger nail..and you dont need to crank down and over tighten the screws, which could damage the scope tube. If you need more details just pm me. My R1 uses a one pc sportsmatch fully adjustable mount, I dont use the stop pin. It has been on that gun for 20 years, never moved !! Mine shoots a .22 14.3 gn pellet at 825 fpe so it is not a low powered rifle.

GoldenStateAIRGUNner thanks for the advice, it’s on back order but coming. Crow

You are quite welcome! It's gone up in price since I got mine. Think I paid $100 for mine. But then everything is going up !

I usually remove the tape unless they are centered. Usually they are not and I like my mechanically zeroed scope with minimal cant when I mount it. The least amount of adjustments to zero the scope the better off you are ! Better for the scope..better for down range accuracy.

I didn’t know I was on the Burlesque forum again. You don’t want that. Crow

Thanks I like the idea with the loctite, I’m going to adopt that one. I have a few scope mounts to check. Crow

Problem solved, I hope. 

 I’m pretty sure it’s the Hawke scope rings come with tape on them. Crow
