In this episode, John McPhee shares insights from his recent 600-yard class, tackling the common issues with lever locks on scopes. While designed for quick removal in case of a scope failure, lever locks often come loose after just a day or two of shooting—especially if you follow manufacturer specifications.
John explains why tightening lever locks beyond factory recommendations can solve the problem but raises an important question: If it’s hard to remove, why use lever locks at all? He breaks down practical alternatives, such as half-inch nuts, and shares tips on keeping your scope zeroed for longer without sacrificing performance.
Whether you're using lever locks or considering alternatives, this episode will help you make better decisions for your rifle setup. Watch now to keep your gear tight and your accuracy on point!
