    I grew up on Texoma when stripers were never heard of. We were catching 100-120 sandbass all the time and usually kept 10-15 to eat. The stripers destroyed the lake for several years by eating all the small black bass and crappie. I haven't fished the lake in a long time, but I understand it's not as bad as it was for black bass or smallies.

    3 years ago is Old School??? NOTHING should be put on the ring screws. Proper torque will be reached with DRY screws. Even if you use the blue Loctite on screws, which is not recommended, you will end up over torquing the ring screws, very likely permanently damaging your scope. P.S. A 2 piece Pic rail should be used under the rings to give you more access to the chamber. Easier to get your fingers in there if you need to. A 1 piece Pic rail takes up alot of that room unnecessarily.
