My investment is in the fun and enjoyment I get from finding, owning, fiddling and shooter them. The financial aspect will be my heir’s problem.
Great advice above and I too like the Burris Signature rings with the inserts. Another trick I read somewhere was using rubber cement especially for heavy recoiling guns. The rubber cement just rubs...
