Hi all, I recently got my scope dipped to match my rifle and am wondering now about mounting it. Should I remove the hydro-dip from under where the rings will clamp down or not? Do you have any scope / gunsmith recommendations I can read, I haven't been able to find any. The rings are Talley and it's a Leupold VX5hd scope if that matters. I have not torqued down the rings yet because I spun them down finger tight and still see gaps on the rings, I do have a torque screwdriver that will work for the range Talley recommends on their rings, 16-20 inch-lbs I think.

Put 40+ lbs of wire through a flux core only Campbell Hausfield I bought for $80 back in 2007 or so. After 8 years I sold it to a friend for $50. That would be my recommendation for an entry level machine. Have a Miller 215 now and would recommend that for more serious work but its $1800 or so.

Would you be interested in a Riton scope, new never mounted with talley rings as part trade? Have to check the model when i get home, 3-15x56 i think.

Thanks bigorange, but I think i might have to call in to AZGFD to get my account fixed. I signed up for a license and paid that in late 2019 to sign up for the last draw but was never able to sign into my portal account or the AZGFD hub. I did get a receipt number and AZGFD ID number, but not any sort of account. When signing up for the draw I used my license number and SSN to put in for a hunt but have never ever been able to log into the portal on the site. Any time I try it says I need to call into the support system because my account is flagged or something like that. I know I got drawn and am excited for that, I am more apprehensive about trying to set up the AZGFD account so I can actually log in and see my information, bonus points, etc. Thanks for the input so far.

How long until we know hunt #, and where should I look? This is my first year drawing in AZ and am still learning.

Noticed one on mine too
