MopaneMikeHow do they do that??
For claw mounts, solder the rings to the scope without screwing up the scope??

new_guyThe only scopes I've seen rings soldered to were steel tubed, and those have to be refinished after the rings are soldered on.
The Germans are also very fond of epoxy in their rings. That's how I've seen them attached to aluminum scopes (not soldered).

MopaneMikeOMG!!! That looks like a bad accident!!!
Thanks Newguy.. But doesn't that ruin the innards??

new_guyThe scopes are completely disassembled for soldering then reassembled after the main tube is refinished.

MopaneMikeHmm.. Now thats pretty labor intensive = $$
I assume your scope pictured is going on a DR?
Thanks again newguy..

new_guyThat scope went on a single shot by Alfred Schilling, who built the rifle and does the case colors.
