Really how did you bend one/see it bend?

I assumed you would be hunting with it?

The scope mount system you have is mounted creates a lot of potential leverage.
Put a bore scope on and gently bump the objective with the palm of your hand....What I'm talking about will become clear. Land on it or whack it once and the scope will be junk.

I hesitate to mention it, but the weaver rings I have seen dented the scope body. Where you have the rings positioned there are close tolerance parts that don't like that sort of treatment.

I would at very least slide the scope rearward as far as you can comfortably get it.

Not trying to pi$$ on your dream rifle (very nice BTW), rather trying to save you some of my personal historical pain.:redface:

I'm a Nikon guy....Nicely lit photograph!
What lens did you use?

Ah thats good to know...should I have gotten the solid rail vs the 2 rails? Would that even make a difference? I don't think I'll be hunting anytime soon with it I've got no place to put meat. Thanks for letting me know that though. I wouldn't class it a dream rifle it only cost $400 :p the scope was $200 lol...

As for the picture thanks! it was just my 18-70mm I wanted to use my 50mm but the room was too small for that...maybe next time...
 
There are a number of inexspensive one piece rails availible. The ones from EGW come to mind. They tend to stick out in front of the action a little, and will allow you to move the front ring forward and stiffen up the scope quite a bit.

Thanks for rubbing it in Bartell.:p

I know the 223 is fully capable of dropping deer in the right hands, i wish that my provincial gov't would realise this instead of legislating to the lowest common denominator.
