Mounting an AR-15 Scope // With a Smartphone??

For those who are New. The Parts and Codes are Here ► http://bit.ly/2N1HjL2

I would’ve lapped those rings in the mount too to ensure proper, even pressure across all points on the scope.

Your scope shouldn’t move in your rings if you’ve properly mounted and tightened the hardware.
I would actually prefer NOT to have my turret butted up against the rings.
Also. Not a good idea to loosen anything with a torque wrench, and store it back at 0 or the lowest setting.
Love your vids man! Thanks for posting!

This channel has gotten a bit boring.

I use a plumb bob with a bright yellow string on it hanging from the ceiling in my garage to level the crosshairs on a scope. Level the gun in a vice and at distance get the X axis crosshair covering the string and then start tightening your scope rings up. I find this method to be quicker and more accurate. Lining the X axis up at a distance is better in my opinion.

Lets all have a good little meltdown about using a fat wrench in the wrong direction. Yay!

I mounted hundreds of scopes with the fat wrench when I worked at sportsmans

👍

@tactical toolbox Another way to bore sight is to remove the upper and secure the upper in a bag or rest.. Remove the BCG and look through the bore to your target. I usually do this at no more than 25 yards. I adjust the scope to the the target. This generally gets me on target. I dial in from there with live fire.

I called Scalarworks Tech support. They said as long as the scope is torqued to spec it doesn’t need to be pushed against the forwardmost rings. I wanted to share this info.

I’ve never had a scope mounting issue to need a level and a torque wrench. I know all of my rifles are zeroed

How do I get the brownells bcg for $90 like you advertised?? It doesn't say anything? False advertisement??

Hey man, I really love all of your links and discounts that you find and share. It really shows how much you care about your subs. Your channel should be hugeeee, bigger than it is at least..

Nicely done. Which bubble level app are you using? There are many that I looked at on the Apple Store, but I can’t find your specific one with the x and y coordinates. Who is it made by?

Riverside CA ehhh?

I’ve been shooting for over a decade and I hate buying new optics, mounting optics in scope rings. Every thing else I love

Thanks for letting me know that the fire Fire restrictions are up where we live now I can go test out all my new guns

Could you do a review on various LPVOs? Or what LPVO do you recommend?

So Guns, cars, and race drones??!!

Are we the same exact fukin person lol

I use a flat piece of metal with two perfectly paralell sides, about 3/8 to 1/2" wide, between the bottom of the scope where it is flat and the "top" of the mount between the rings (i have a set of thickness gauges that work perfectly). The sides push against one of each of the surfaces mentioned which in turn make those surfaces also paralell with one another. Quick, easy, and painless. It helps to have the screws in the rings already started and very slightly snug , just loose enough that you can use that piece of metal to level the scope but then keep it in place for final torquing of the screws.

It's basically like a jerry rigged version of the arisaka leveling system, or whatever its called

I seriously just eyeball it! Haven’t had a problem.

@13:27, no.. no sir your scope it NOT level with the barrel, it is level with the rail that is around the barrel. god only knows what the rail is to the barrel. All that trouble, just buy a string bubble level.

Read the comments. Read some Gunsmithing manuals. Go to my gun Channel and see how I mount my scopes. (Bushnell Tac Elite on a Savage).

Erase this video. Redo the video properly.

Get you some fix it sticks dude… wonderful, and repeatable torque. You can thank me later…

Please stop giving bad information. Stick to what you do best which is everything else BUT this.
Love your channel. I learn a lot from your Channel. But Gunsmithing is my specially. I couldn't bear to finish watching this video. Too many cringes.

Please give me your reference for mounting your turrets hard against the scope turrets.. I have never, ever seen that.

In fact, all GunSmiths say that's detrimental because it can pinch your erector assembly.

All gunsmiths say to CENTER your turrets as much as possible in your scope rings.

If you're using good quality rings plus proper torque, and BLUE Loctite, you can drop your rifle from 10 feet and your scope will never move. Even less likely to move if you LAP your scope rings to your scope tube diameter.

With my largest scopes on the rifles I'm going to shoot past a hundred yards, I LAP the scope rings the scope tube diameter. I have a Scope Lapping Kit.

Go to my gun Channel and watch my video on mounting a Bushnell Tactical Elite 6-24X50mm scope to my Savage 308. One third of an inch 3 round group with the target to prove it.
