Title: scope question
Post by: carlyoungs on August 30, 2012, 04:06:37 PM: Hey guys quick question. I sent my rifle in to get re blued and before I sent it in I took off my scope and rings. It was dead on before I took everything off and was wondering if I re mount everything will it still be accurate? Thanks for the help kind of a newbee.

I would take it to the range and shoot it...

Better safe than sorry on the buck or bull of a lifetime.
