Shooting Now turn your attention to the scope. If this part of your rifle isn’t right, you’re likely in for a disappointing hunt. Start by making sure it’s properly secured. A torque wrench is a great tool to check the bases and rings to confirm everything is tight. A common question new hunters ask is how long the moving parts of a rifle will last. The answer usually surprises them: most of those parts will likely never wear out and won’t need replacing. Think about it, most deer hunters only fire about 10 rounds per season. Multiply that over many years and you’ll still rarely face issues. The one exception might be the trigger, depending on its design. If you suspect a problem, take your rifle to a qualified gunsmith unless you’re confident in breaking it down and making the repair yourself.
