How Professional Mount Their Scopes – 3 Easy Steps

Your first step will be to ensure that the all components match and are compatible with each other, once you are satisfied that everything matches you can then begin the process of applying a small amount of a thread freezing compound and you can then proceed to start putting the bottom half in place.

It is important that you use a wooden dowel if your rings are attached using a rotating socket system and not the actual scope.

Once you have the bottom half of the rings or mount are in place you will then need to align the reticle and adjust the eye relief.

You will need to ensure that the rings allow the scope to rotate and move back and forth and that it is positioned forward enough so that the eyes will be safe in instances of recoil.

Lastly, you want to tighten all your screws and insert a bore pin. You can then adjust the horizontal and vertical axis for aiming.
