The one thing I would add is that prior to anything, I put masking tape on the stock with 1" marks on it. Then I mount the rifle several times and get a picture of where my eye is. This gives me a more precise position for a scope's eyerelief.
What color vibratite?
Well done helped alot
That method does not guarantee alignment of the vertical reticle to the barrel bore, which ultimately is what is necessary for long range shooting. It’s close but no cigar. You can do this in your backyard. Set focus to 25 yards. Set a mirror at 12.5 yards away from scope. Look at mirror so you can see yourself and the muzzle hole. Rotate scope till the vertical reticle is centered on bore. Tighten screws, checking to make sure scope doesn’t rotate. Done. No levels, no plumb bobs, no gadgets.
Erm. Nearly every long distance shooter says its best to lapp your rings? How did you come to the conclusion that you don't?
You can’t get through to paramount tactical solutions!
How come when I try to get to paramount tactical solutions I get a warning about someone trying to steal my personal information. Was really interested in the bundle.
My grandson is Airborne certified next up SF prep course. He didn't need to do it, heating plumbing for 10-12 years making about $40.00 per hour. Me US Army – Vietnam 13 years active duty.
Why wouldn't you use the USOptics level installed at the beginning instead of the Wheeler barrel clamp level?
There are some really good tips in this video and not so good tips in this video.
@Paramount Tactical is this process required if the scope mounting system has a built in leveling system? Such as the Scalarworks Leap mount, Spuhr, or Tier One monomounts? Seems like the base of the scope would reference to the top of the mount and the mount to the Picatinny rail.
what're your thoughts on lapping the scope rings? would you do it for a precision rifle?
Great intel – thanks for sharing. I specifically like that you turn the screws 1/8 at a time and constantly check the gap as you make the adjustments.
It doesn't matter if your reticle is perfectly level. If you can't eyeball it, you're going to be a poor marksman anyway. A minute of rotational angle or two off-level is going to translate to millimeters over a hundred yards, well within the variance of individual rounds. Besides, you just hold the reticle level anyway. The gun doesn't care if it's rotated a hair or two.
Glorious!!
good channel gave a sub. Great videos.
really good video on this subject
Noticed that Valknaut, right on.
I recommend copper spray, found in most auto parts stores. Dispels heat, holds bolts, nuts and screws tight but will not lock them up where you can’t get them out. And does no one lap the rings??? That’s a important step. I have lapped the most expensive rings there are and always find high spots.
What rifle action / stock is that? Thanks!
Hi, Gary. Excellent vid! I'm a novice and have recently purchased my first AR-15 hoping to shoot my first hog soon. Since I don't have experience nor the money to purchase this mounting system, where should I take mine to get it mounted and leveled correctly? Thanks!!
Thanks for the video
