  1. I just purchased this rifle in 223 because of your review. I use the wheeler levels to mount my scopes. My problem is the 223 being a small cartridge it’s hard to use the magnet above the magazine like normal. It wants to pop up and you have to hold. It appears that the area where the bolt comes out is level. Do you know if it’s level? Would that be a good place to place the magnet? I’m picky about my set up and like to do it myself but am frustrated with the difficulty on this rifle. Please advise. Your videos are a huge help.

  2. I understand that rifle has adjustable pull, but I'm surprised you didn't address eye relief. Your adjustment seemed based entirely on the cant device. Speaking of that, I'm surprised you didn't use that as your basis of level, or at least verify it since it would be your real world reference.

  3. What about the MOA of the rail and MOA of scope rings or one piece mounts. How much do you need?.I just purchased the tikka tx3 tax a1 and the savage elite precision. One has no MOA and the other 20 MOA. And both are vague about it. I’m thinking the 20moa is the savage. Thanks Paul
    I like all your videos.great stuff!

  4. Enjoying the video and thinking about purchasing this rifle. But what I’m beginning to understand is that even after you purchase a rifle you have to buy additional equipment to mount your scope. What is the cost of the rifle which I did not see in your first video .

  5. Its so true, you really have to setup your own firearm, and learn the proper ways to do so prior to attempting such task. Recently took a brand new gun out to the range, and had only done a backyard bore sight on it, but only had to adjust my elevation down and I was on steel within a hand full of rounds. I did have some awesome spotters with me, so that really helped me to get adjusted out to 1000y later that day. To me, the reason I was able to get on this new gun and be a success, is that I properly mounted and torqued the scope, used levels to make sure it wasn't canted, etc – it didn't take that long to do this pre-trip research and really made it seem like I was a good shooter(im not).

  6. Since the anti-cant and optic lever are in close proximity, albeit crowded, why can't the anti-cant go on the forward ring? I don't know, just observing, but the device looks to be in the way for the left hand reaching for the scope, which, conversely, would be out of the way if it were in front of or behind the forward ring. I have two of these rifles on my next purchase list, so this vid is thumbed and saved! I dig the OCD methodology! Thank you!

  7. I bought the same rifle over a year ago and I love it for the money. I wished the bolt throw angle was less.. It's a 2 lug design so 90° is expected BUT with my Vortex Razor Gen II mounted in the lowest MPA mount my right thumbnail always catch the Switchview throw lever's ring and bends my nail back when racking a new round into the chamber. I do have Savage's BA Tactical style bolt lever coming in a few days. 0.75" longer than the standard knob so my hand will be further away from my scope.

  8. Good tutorial. By coincidence I have just purchased the same rifle and optic. I see you used 1” rings and I had hoped to see the gap between the objective lens and barrel when you finished. If given a slightly shorter or taller option would you have used that or was the 1” spot on perfect?

  9. This method works for the most part,however even higher end optics with their tight tolerances the moment you rotate the turret you're going to have a different angle, IMO using the plumb bob/flashlight alignment after leveling the rifle is allot more reliable, repeatable, and consistent method of properly aligning a optic and would apply to both high end optics, as well as all of the more economy optics that many beginners and budget conscious amateurs are going to be using. Thanks for the tutorial sir, perhaps a tutorial demonstrating the plumb bob/flashlight method would apply to a broader audience.
