Well with these gorilla mounts what I plan on doing is sighting in the scope. Then removing the scope/rings from the bases, swab the barrel good, reattach the scope and shoot a shot or two then repeat.
Curious to see how well it comes back to zero. I am going to try and reinstall using the same amount of pressure. I don't have a screwdriver with torque measuring capability but I think the same torque on the cross bolts will be the key to maintaining the zero.
I like washing the barrel with hot soapy water but you have to be extra careful with the scope. I know they are waterproof but I don't want to intentionally submerge it. And I don't like putting the muzzle in the water expecially with that fiber optic sight. I'm afraid it may crack.
