Gee Whiz Knowledge.... Anyone have any?

If you have a hard kicking beast, just put some clear RTV on the inside of the rings. Then normal torque on the ring screws holds everything perfectly. My .458 Win Mag doesn't move the scope at all and the RTV is easy to remove from the scope/rings if you need to. Don
 
If you need scope covers and want something cheap, take a look at a bicycle inner-tube. Cut the length of the tube slightly shorter than the scope and stretch it over the bell and objective....Bikini scope cover on the cheap.
 
The bead on my shotgun barrell fell off. I took the red straw from a wd-40 can and screwed it into the threads tightly. Cut off to desired length.

I have not tested it yet but if it needs to be replaced it won't cost anything.

What is RTV??
 
Here's a couple:

I posted this earlier this week in my stock refinish thread but if you are stripping the finish from a stock with checkering use a plastic bristle grout brush when the finish is soft. Brushing with the checkering lines will carry the softened finish out onto the smooth section of the stock where you can wipe it away. Brush with the opposite lines of checkering. Keep repeating with fresh stripper and you don't have to work nearly as hard to get clean checkers.

For you fly fishermen: I take my favorite fly line cleaner and soak a stack of about a dozen 12 guage shotgun barrel cleaning swabs. Put these in a zip loc bag and put them in your fly vest for cleaning your line periodically while at the river, creek, lake, etc. Of course this is most important for floating lines that get dirty and don't shoot as well or float like they should.
