If you want to make extra sure the hole is weatherproof, a small o-ring around the screw and under the head could be used.Longer screws could also be cut down into shorter sections, then have one end slotted to make grub screws. My "hand slotting" skills aren't strong, so I'd probably live with the protruding head.-bes
nced Your using this rifle with a scope , I just reinstalled the base , screws and post in place , works fine using a Williams peep , I never shot with a globe front sight , did it interfere with the scope . I like keeping things in place as long as it doesn't interfere with another sight system. Have a @$%^ load of bags listed with original , springs , pins , triggers and firing pins.Chris
I sometimes use a pellet seater, but only on my best rifles and with the best pellets. I have yet to buy an actual "Pellet seater". A ballpoint pen works just as well.As for handling, I don't wear gloves, but I ALWAYS wipe down my guns after shooting with either a cloth and Beeman MP-05 oil, or at least some sort of de-greaser and a wipe of some sort of oil. Even a wipe-off with WD40 is better than leaving greasy, acidic finger prints on it, and though you may not see them immediately, they are there.I'm like you. I baby all of my firearms.It's sort of a ritual when putting them away for the day.
Hi Ron Ballistol is my favorite , it does it all . I do give my firearms a wipe down every time I finish shooting. I don't leave finger prints on my guns when I put them away . With these brake barrels you have to handle the barrel every time , I'm sure it will effect the bluing on the barrel but that's the nature of the best. Best I can do is give it a wipe down after shooting. Didn't get a chance to shoot Thursday , 8 grand kids puts a crimp in my shooting every once an awhile. Stay Well Ron.Chris
I would think seating the pellets to the same depth would help in accuracy. The pellet pen would be good for hunters and Shakey hands . Haven't tried the pen yet , you can load up 20 .177 WC pellets in the pen ,pop one in the chamber at the other end of the pen is the seater , you can adjust to what ever seating depth you want. Seems pretty good to me, hope to try it out tomorrow.
