2nd Shot Expert Advice Please!

I’m just glad this happened nearly 2 months before your hunt and not just a few days before. And that you weren’t injured more than happened.

Yes for sure!

I just figured out the problem. I went to the Talley website and learned this:

“Not sure if you have older Dakota factory bases? The slot where the scope ring sets down in should measure .750″ front to rear.”

Seems that Talley made bases and rings for Dakota years ago that are slightly different than the current models. I had never heard this and put the newer rings on the older bases! They went on and tightened down but not enough to withstand repeated recoil. I guess I might have a ding on my forehead for a few weeks due to this! Oh well, I’m just glad I figured it out now!

What a shame Dakota didn’t add the mount slot for mount indexing and additional hold.
