How To Mount a Rifle Scope Properly!

Not very original video!

After perfectly leveling scope to rifle, does it ever look canted to you when you get behind gun? I get that on all my rifle scopes even though I know it’s level with my barrel

I'm not purchasing $300.00 worth of tools to mount a scope.

Verify that the small level for the receiver is accurate before using….

So if I destroy my rifle, mounts, or scope because of your bad advice, 68 foot pounds do I get to sue you because the manufacturers are not going to warranty it. It will fall under negligence. Take the video down, correct it the right way, and stop being a lazy half ass. Do better

68 foot pounds? That is one tough scope tube!

What piccatiny rail is the best for the tikkas? Iv been looking at MTN Tactical? Thanks

Why do you not lap your rings?

I like leveling the gun and then a plumb bob on the wall and flashlight method

Thank you.

Said 68ft lbs. don’t let him mount your scope lol

I thought I heard 68 ft-lbs and then rewatched to see the annotated correction—VERY important clarification 😂

No plum-Bob?

I like to level everything and then take a 4 ft level and draw a vertical line out about 20yrds or so and then compare my crosshairs with it after i tighten down my scope .

Epoxy the pic rail down?

68 inch pounds is still crazy high. I've never tightened anything down to that extent.

You don’t need to rub the open wound by telling us about your NF. We can see the letters

Thank you for being so concise. And not taking 20 minutes to tell me how to do it.

Never checked the rings hmmm

Why no lapping?

Level your action, and plumb your reticle to a plumb bob. I used to do it like you do.

The only level that matters is the one mounted to your action…because that's the level you use while shooting. The reticle needs to be plumb to that level…these level kits are a shortcut to get you close, but you are compounding machining tolerances on the levels, mounts, rail, scope turrets, and reticles, and even bore cocentricity!!. Guess how you correct that when you test on paper….You cant your scope in the mounts to match tour POI.

68 FOOT pounds?!

of all the things to leave out, you leave out the inch pounds for the rings… why?? that's quite literally the most important thing

That barrel level is nonsense.

I used a phone level on measure app and a wooden gun holder. My RPR shoots out to 800m.

Oh, you went with a night force……..oh ok

😄

Me personally, I won't use anything other than Dnz scope mounts, it's all one piece

68 foot lbs.?? Hell no

Don’t lap your rings 😂you city boys are something else.

I dont think i own a scope thats perfectly level 😂 Everyone is canted left or right but they all still shoot fine

Feeler gauges properly spaced between your scope bottom and rail works great. Saves a lot of time. I’ve used this method on my last three scope mounts

What vice is that?

Why not lap the rings?

LEVELS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH MOUNTING SCOPES. The only thing that matters when mounting a scope is bisecting the bore with the elevation travel.

this is wrong the cross hairs in the scope must be in line with the center of the bore or the further the bullet goes the more it will be off left or right the scope must be square with the bore not the rifle

Which rifle is that

I'm not a huge fan of that small level. I wish there wasn't a screw adjustment on it. I'm sure there is a reason but I can't think of one. The barrel level works great though.
