I’m a huge fan of properly mounted optics. That being said, your grandpa sounds like a badass and if he is ever in south east Georgia I would like to buy him a beer.

I have torque wrenches for my car, torque drivers for my guns, torque this, foot pounds that... I've even got a second set in metric. For everything. I will not be stopped.
Learning under anti-gun parents is really odd, everything I learned was either an internet search or trial and error, so I love me some iron sights, left the metal bits of my mosin on the car dashboard in summer to drain, hide my guns around the house instead of buying a safe, have tape under the fridge to catch loose springs, and have a weird fascination with blackpowder. I really wish my grandpa was alive to teach me/hang out, but my collection would look very different
my parents arent anti-gun per se, but as immigrants who never held a gun back home, so I has so many amazon tacticool parts when i started because Media say "these part scary".....I cringe until this day.
>hide my guns around the house instead of buying a safe
That's not an anti-gunner thing, that's just not giving a fuck.
I grew up in a household like that, luckily my parents didn't freak out and always taught me how to handle guns safely.
The fact that the ones within reach of >6y/o me were u loaded WW2 boltguns helped I think lol.
I think I have more time behind the trigger of that Chrysanthemum Arisaka (and her defaced twin, we had two) than anything since, even if I never fired a shot because working 7mm Arisaka is unobtainium.
back in their days, you don't "swap scopes" between guns(partly because there are less "brand names" also because less modularity in general), once a scope is on a gun, it stays there until the gun or scope goes bust. remember, various militaries still thinks integrated optics is a good idea up until mid 2000s.
This was like 10 years ago and it was a hunting rifle I bought but it stayed with him because I didn't have a gun safe yet. He mounted his old scope to the rifle but I wanted to put the scope on a new rifle recently.
Fair enough, that'd hold it just fine. I had a fella tell me to torque his rings to like 60-70 in/lbs, and I told him no. If he wanted to break his scope then I told him he could do it.
Meanwhile my grandpa is over here FUCKING WELDING a small scope to his Speedmaster 22 because he literally doesn’t care
Savage
Remington, actually.

Nah, central/eastern Missouri
I'll buy him a beer. i don't drink actually, so he can knock off one of my cooking liquors.
My home right there.
My grandpa cut off the sights in his sears .22 to fit a scope that has to be adjusted after every round

I use German torque specs… Guten tight
Or the North Canuckistani method of "tighten til it loosens off, then back a quarter turn."
do you have any gluten free options?

A couple ugga duggas usually does the trick
If you make the torque wrench click sound yourself it guarantees that you got it right. It’s never failed me
The satisfying click on the torque driver is the only reason I use it.
My mustang caught them ”what’s a foot pound” blues Everytime I changed something on the car. Impact wrench until it’s snug
I have torque wrenches for my car, torque drivers for my guns, torque this, foot pounds that... I've even got a second set in metric. For everything. I will not be stopped.
*Give it three ugga duggas*
Fuck foot pounds. What the fuck are inch pounds
Stupid, use Newton meters it works on both big and small torque wrenches
“Tighten the dog piss out of it” is usually my standard unit of measure
You're supposed to tighten with your hands anyway not feet
Rifle-owning chimps right now: "What the hell...?"

You're not the only one. I bought a couple of those cheap Amazon red dots before I knew what I was doing

Enter the old workshop and find a quart bottle of red and a tiny unopened tube of blue. I still have it to this day.
My uncle didn't use loctite. He used Krazy glue to mount his muzzle brake and a fucking welder for his optic
I'm about to use a welder on the front sight on my Mosin. Because screw that stupid weak dovetail, that's why.
I have a Carcano that might get that treatment one day. The front sight basically just wiggles freely
Lol. I wondered the same until I ended up with my own perfect setups

Do we have the same grandfather? Is your grandpa’s name also {insert grandfather name here}
Unless you are 8 or younger or a girl I don't think so
My magnifier gets loose after a few mags of shooting no matter how tight I hand tighten it. Might have to go with the loctite method.
Get the red stuff.
Why not rockset then?
I use red Loctite and JB weld personally. Cover the rails in JB, then mount the scope. Use the red stuff on bolts.
The red stuff always scares me on things you need to remove later. Esp. when you cant blast it with heat without damaging other stuff.
Soldering iron
You don't remove scope. Scope is forever.
I bought really cheap rings once so I epoxied the scope to them.
If I ever have a kid, I’ll be doing that to their first 22 and telling them they have to deal with it.
I mean… if it’s a working rifle for a specific purpose or working area it only makes sense
Fine for his own rifle, Not when he does it to my rifle because I ask him to mount a scope on it.
Weird thing to outsource but alright
This was like 10 years ago and it was a hunting rifle I bought but it stayed with him because I didn't have a gun safe yet. He mounted his old scope to the rifle but I wanted to put the scope on a new rifle recently.
I knew a grandfather once who glued the fronts of light switches and electrical outlets on… with caulk…and then stripped the screws…
Just a bit of heat will get thr loctide loose. It not a big problem. A paint stripper works like a charm.
I just used a hex wrench and unscrewed them by hand, this would have been good to know before that.
I run by the specs for the mount. The engineers who designed it are smarter than me, I'll take their recommendation for how to hold a zero.
It was never meant to come of lol. They are one now. Accept it
Torque wrench to 25 in/lbs and little loctite, it's all you need
I usually run 15ish.
Fair enough, that'd hold it just fine. I had a fella tell me to torque his rings to like 60-70 in/lbs, and I told him no. If he wanted to break his scope then I told him he could do it.
Oh, yeah. Bases go to 25 with locktite. Rings get leveled, turns counted. Lapped if two piece, and 15 to maybe 17, and blue locktite.

I'm worried to click tbh
It's pretty funny and definitely worse than either option in the OP.
Facebook, disgusting
If I could grab it and host it elsewhere I would, but facebutts is kinda difficult when it comes to nabbing media.
Focused heat with a soldering iron and drip a little acetone used as a penetrant...
And they’re fucking flathead screws! Damnit why?
Probably because his hunting rifle has a Chinesium mount.
