LRH270Suggestions please - sight hood keeps coming off.
Every series of shots, after about 3 or 4 rounds the front sight hood comes off my M70 .458 Win Mag from recoil.
What is the best way to hold it on better so it won't?

GeronomoNECG makes sights which have a small detent which must be depressed to remove the hood. That said, I don't like shooting with the hood on, therefore I only use a hood to protect the sights while in the case then remove them when the gun is to be used.

Michael PetrovAs Geronomo said I believe that the sight hood is for the protection of the front sight during transportation. I always remove them before shooting.
