what happens if you skip the brake cleaner step?
F@#K I LOVE this Channel
What kind of scope rings did you go with for the savage 220
what annoys me is a shiny stainless scope on a black gun…a black matte scope in black matte rings on a black matte gun…anyway…I agree with leveling the gun both laterally and rotationally to 0* off the rail…I disagree with your mounting procedure…I push forward on the rings to the front on the slot on the rail, (this is where they will end up after a few shots anyways) and lock them down to the specified torque to the rail…I ALWAYS USE A TORQUE WRENCH…then I lay the scope into the saddles, and loosely screw the top caps in place…I then set my eye relief, marked with tape or a pencil on the tube…then I lay a digital protractor on the top scope elevation cap and level it rotationally in the saddle, to level the reticle…then I begin to tighten cap screws in a diagonal pattern, while watching the digital protractor…if it moves from 0* after I reach my final torque, I back off the screws, and offset the scope to that amount and torque the screws again (you touched on this)…usually my angle stays at 0* and my caps will be properly torqued and my gaps between saddle and caps will be very close to equal…( I also suffer from OCD with balance and evenness on guns, cars, house, whatever)…I have never lapped rings…never need to and have never damaged a scope tube or had it move
what's the purpose of the brake cleaner? meaning what if you install w the oils still there?
You make light of the dangers of brake clean, but did ya know if ya heat that shit up it gives off phosgene gas? (Mustard gas!) ain't nothing to play wth!
Another good video. Hoping I can take my AR with a Nikon P223 scope out tomorrow and site it in. Then have fun blasting rounds down range. I have same type of laser bore-sight yet got the cheaper one with red laser. What gage is that slug gun?
Thanks guys, good video.
