Nikon Scope Mounting 1

@dwaynehunter1000 i found with my Wheeler scope levels that i had to make sure the levels were turned in the correct position to be accurate…basicly, i placed both levels on one surfface to check that the bubbles read the same. if they didn't, i'd turn the level that sits on the scope 180 degrees and then both bubbles read the same. but, even if that doesn't get them reading the same, just take note of the difference between them and keep that in mind when you level the scope.

just use a standard screw driver set dumbass

why would't you level the cross hairs to the axis of the bore? Get some Wheeler Engineering levels and do it right. You can't get them truly level without levels period. having perfectly level cross hairs makes your adjustments way more accurate at the range. Unleved your side ways adjustment will actually be slightly upwards or slightly down depending on which way they are tilted.

no loctite?

i always put removable loctite on base rings at least. Not the permanent stuff, unless you want to take a blow torch to the screws to remove it you have to.

@bazengao Nah… definitely not necessary. You should be able to do it in half the time as well.

@getemhi yeah sure i get ya! i just needed to know if that kind of tools is really necessary to mount a scope… i just bought a new scope with car zeiss lens and i just wanted to be sure!

@bazengao I dont know but I mount my own scopes with only standard tools I already have in my garage tool box. I don't have any of that special stuff he is using in the video. But again… I am not making a video trying to sell people shit they don't need. He is. Those silly "point" things? You can just put the scope in the rings… you know what I mean?

how much money did spend in tools just to perform that simple task? answer pls i would like to clear up some points.

@maydayfire i would like to use your brother if your not useing him. im going to scope mount my M 38.

i enjoy working on these at home as well, but i dont have the tools u got, i use a bunch of pillows to hold one side and my brother to hold the other side of the gun while i mount the scope..

Made that tool on the lathe. 50 cents worth of aluminum and 20 minutes. Works well.

How much they paying you to sell the screw drivers?

I level my rifle(s) in a vice, level fore and aft as well as side to side, Seldom if ever has a new scope mount held the optic without some type of line boring or at the very least seating the optic in the rings with lapping compound to keep your scope level after the first few shots,
I also level the optic on the rifle againm fore and aft, as well as side to side,
FInally, a laser bore aiming tool is CRUCIAL and MUCH cheaper then wasting ammo, and is MUCH safer
I will post a vid

What about thread locking compound on the base and or rings. Just looking for an opinion and trying to learn about this…

do you have to do this all by your self or can you take it some where to get it done

The windage adjustment on my Nikon Prostaff with BDC is on the right (as is every other scope I've seen/used). The way you mounted this scope, it looks the windage adjustment is on the left. Is this scope different or have you got the scope turned 90 degrees? Any reason you didn't level the scope to the rifle/action? My experience using the alignment tools is that the up/down alignment is as critical as the Left/Right. It looked like your rings were off up/down.

nice rifle

beeman scope stopper

It could be your rings or your mount.

I have a gamo scope but it does not stay straight on the rifle. What should I do?

can be used as both

Question……Can that vise be used to sight in a rifle too or is it suppose to be used strictly as a vise. I'm just too cheap to buy both.

my dad has a browning a-bolt stainless stalker left handed .338 win mag with a leupold 3-9×40

i love it but i want him to buy a nikon monarch so i can do some long range shooting.

What about putting locktight on screws?
What about leveling your cross-hairs?

Only thing I would add to this is to use some loctite on the base and ring screws.

great choice on scope makes me feel stupid for buying a zeiss
