Title: .50 beowulf
Post by: Silencer on July 21, 2008, 03:24:13 PM
My bro's had his beowulf for a while now and I'm just getting around to asking this question.  There's so much recoil from shooting it the scope is sliding back in the rings diggin groves in it.  http://www.alexanderarms.com/beowulf.htm
Havent shot it myself but my oldest boy said it kicks like a damn mule dad.. lol

Any special made scope rings out there for the big boys ?  Or should he go with a tactical dot sight ?

Thanks   ... Not sure if it has the muzzle break on it or not ???  I'll have to check the next time I'm visiting.

I also put the little pads in that r sticky on both sides, in the rings before i crank em down, keeps from having metal on metal which aint good traction, alot of rings come with them.

Lapping the rings will help a lot. If you have ever seen a set of rings that have been lapped you will know why. The bearing surface on the rings is very inconsistent and are normally out of round. A drop or 2 of loc tite will also help after lapping.
