Hello Folks,

Today I swapped scopes around on a couple of rifles, including two H&R Handi-rifles. Since I had the scopes off anyway, I decided to re-torque the Allen-head screws that attach the Weaver bases to the barrels. Neither had been touched since the factory installed them. The screws started moving at five inch-pounds, and had moved almost one-half turn each by the time I got to 20 inch-pounds. So, for any of you who own these rather nice little rifles, you might want to check your scope mounts.
