So I went with the nail polish, got the rings mounted on the Mossberg 695, and then realized that one of the rings was never drilled to recieve the screws to hold the scope in place. Aaaaaaargh. So then I decided to mount another scope on my Savage 99. Got the rings in place and then realized the scope (a World Class Compact) is too short for the rings. Double Aaaaaaargh. Curse that Murphy guy.
