  1. Shouldn't you put the scope on a flat surface ( level surface before to make sure) then put the scope on said surface and check turret. I say this because I have heard of scopes can change level depending where the turret is turned.

  2. talk about timing…today i was mounting my PA scope on my AR.. lol perfect timing.. i also use that real avid scope light install kit too. using mutliple levels, and the optic light.. makes ya feel good about the install. great video Thanx PSA !

  3. Got a Sig LPVO about 2 weeks ago, havent opened it yet, is it worth buying the tools like the vice just to do this once? I dont see myself mounting any scopes in the future after this so Im not sure if i should bother buying all the tools

  4. MM77 Approved 👍🏼 👍🏼…………………………………………………. I just wanted to say I picked up some of the Jakl stickers when checked out in Myrtle Beach Saturday. I was almost as happy to get the stickers as I was getting the ammo that I had been looking for! LOL

  5. Not a big deal Its inside to out on linear or square objects when tightening. Not Outside to inside fasteners.

    If their was an o ring or more malleable material youd notice bunching and rippling in the material..
