quick question
Hey everyone, our firearm deer season opens in two days, I have been doing a lot for out trip, have class tomorrow, today I sighted in my muzzleloader, it is a x-150 winchester with 3-9x bushnell banner scope on top, i cleaned it afterwards really good, probably the best ever, well in the cleaning process I left the stock attached, afterwards i was making sure everything was still torqued down good, and the action screws were tight, but i tightened them a little bit more, my question is, after tightening the action screws, PROBABLY not even a 1/2 turn more, will this significantly throw off my poi?...or should i be set and not worry about this?...i really don't have the time to mess around resighting it it, at 50 yards i set it so it hit 2" high so it was pretty good out to 100, is this going to screw me up or no?

About how much is 60 inchpounds, I ask because that is how much the HS precision stock should be tightend down from what ive seen. Just wondering, is that just barely hand tight, or real tight...i dont have a guage and want to shoot. Thanks 0 -
I've read that they became available to the public in 1954. There had been experimenting with a 3" 20 gauge for some time before that though. 0 -
That is pretty close to what I've read.
I remember as a small kid, a lot of family and friends shot 16 gauge, it was a real popular gauge at that time. By the mid to late 60s, the 3" 20 was the thing, 16s where sitting in the closet.

UMC offered it in May of 1900.
Their catalog offered 20-gauge shells in 2 1/2, 2 3/4, 2 7/8 and 3-inch.0 -
1900 is correct--- slightly newer than the 3" 16, but neither were what was classified as a "magnum". 0 -
THANKS ALL I purchased a little Combo gun last night Trying to figure what time frame it was made Cheers Karl 0 -
Wouldn't the guns they were used in have required their chambers to be deepened so the crimps could open? 0 -
Yes the chamber would have to match the shell I was asking the question because Then I would know the gun had to be newer than the first 3 inch magnum shell made because the gun was marked 3 inch 0 -
Both the 20 and the 16 had 3" chambers---and-- I have 2-3" 16 ga shells, one Peters and one Ajax---and--- a 3" 16 ga L C Smith! 0 -
Winchester's first shotgun chambered for a 3" 20-ga shell was the Model 1885 Single Shot, in 1913 - 1914. 0 -
