Yeah man I have a red dot on my 300 ar. They are awesome in the thick stuff. Fast as

Picked up a weatherby vanguard stainless in 223 for an absolute steal. There will ve some changes in due course.
Bloody nice bit of kit.

I tried epoxying a rail on my old browning years ago in an effort to use my oeg aimpoint. yeah fail. Araldite lasted less than 5 shots truying to sight it in.
I then tried some of that CRC epoxy putty. One of the first out. Heaps better. Sighted it in, about a packet and a half of ammo on opening morning and it fell off again lol.
A lot of metal clanging and banging on an A5 so maybe your rifle not so bad. good luck but I would have though about sweating it on minimum.

I think you will find that "epoxied the rail on" means it was epoxied AND screwed on...dumbasses

Well considering I tried it back in the day I would assume that someone else may try. No meat on the top of the A5 to D/T so not much option in that case.
As a fitter I also struggle with the need for epoxy under scope rails. If they don't hold they aren't big enough or there is something else going on.

Epoxy in this case is not usually for adhesive properties, but to bed the rail to the receiver. If the fit isn't perfect, torquing the screws will bend the rail.

Hahaha yep definatly screwed and expoxied !!

@chalkeye yup that would be about right. Like I posted, something else not matching properly.

Managed to locate a sling and Bayo with Scabbard all period correct.

Thats a Good way of putting it tim

Bought this off @Dreamer a week or two back, T3 in 6.5x55, DPT suppressor, Southfort Labs NZ Hunter carbon stock, have just put a VX5 on it in Talleys and added Atlasworks alloy bottom metal and bolt shroud, have another alloy bolt shroud coming from Glades Armory in the states that's bare alloy colour which should finish it off nicely.

Bit heavier than my finnlight but wasn't bought to be a real lightweight, bought to be a bit of a basher that can do it all, hunt, shoot steel etc to save the barrel burners
