  9. Dude you just saved my life. Been doing this all wrong for well of 30 years. Thanks, and now I have about 5 guns I need to go remount my scopes on. I don't know if I should kiss you or hate you. My neck will probably love you

  10. I wear glasses all the time and have trouble seeing through a scope. That scope shadow really block my vision , I have to get really close to the scope to minimize the shadow. Do you have any suggestions ?

  15. Good morning sir…thank you for sharing your obviously extensive knowledge in both this video and others. Here in N.J., shotguns are the most commonly hunted with weapons, so I've gotten a little rusty with rifle ballistics and scope mounting. I appreciate the refresher course on both. Take Care, Mark.

  17. Anyone who'd thumbs down this gracious sharing of experience and wisdom is going through life in a clueless manner,… Thanks Ryan and NSSF; great information for anyone smart enough to know it when they see it.

  19. I have setup an RPR Gen2 308 and a Rp 22lr rimfire this way.
    I used quality rings and a machinists rule under the scope to the base rail just like in the video. And installed cant bubbles on both. I am running Riton 6-24×50Ri Scopes on both rifles.
    I did everything just like the video and had both rifles zeroed in 3 shots!!
    So anyone that thinks this information is wrong is wrong 🧐

  22. I volunteer at my local gun club before deer season. Some guy actually came in with a sight mounted backwards. He was wondering why he couldn't see anything…

  27. I just started watching your videos and came across this gem. I would have never know this was you from 2011!! Ha! Great info on the video and still relevant!

  28. I use a simple auto feeler gauge, the kind a machinist may have. We used to use them to set points, before electronic ignition. You can usually find one at an auto parts store. Use it to slide between the top of the rail and the bottom of the flat part of the scope. You will be able to to find the exact fit and the reticle alignment will be perfect.
