Call me crazy
« on: August 17, 2011, 11:43:36 AM »
Alright posting on here to see what ya'll think. I have a stevens 325-s 30/30 want to have my dad use it this upcoming season. Here my dilemma he needs a scope on it. However this gun is not drilled or tapped and funds are super tight right now. Do you think if I were to jb weld or locktite a scope mount on to the rifle if would hold steady enough to take it out..or would the force and recoil probably jar things loosey goosey  thanks for your guys' input.

It won't hold.  JB Weld is good for many things, but mounting scopes to rifles isn't one of them.
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

When Bernie Madoff did it, it's called a "Ponzi Scheme"
When Government does it, it's called "Social Security"

The only thing that will hold tight enough is to have it drilled and tapped.  I understand that funds are tight, but anything less would simply be wasting your time and energy. :twocents:
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

Do that, otherwise you're crazy for thinking any of the other options you mention will work.

You might as well use bubble gum. Its cheaper, plus you get to chew on it for a while.  :chuckle: Everytime you fire the rifle, its probably like taking a hammer and smacking the scope mounts. You sound like my dad. He uses hose clamps and jb weld on any and everything. Oh yea, your'e CRAZY.

have to be handy on the spot, looks like afterall I will have it drilled and tapped. Found a place in spokane where they'll do it for 60 bucks, already have the bracket and thee scope just need to buy the rings of amazon and will be set to go for about 100 bux after gas. Looked at peep sights and they're pricier than i thought they would be.

Aw, ya can't blame someone for looking to save money when times are tough.  It's just that for some things, there aren't any shortcuts.
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

A 30-30 doesn't need a scope. That rifle is far better with open sights.
