To mount a rifle scope, you only need to use some basic hand tools.
This prevents damage to the mechanism so that it will stay accurate in the future.
This location is driven by the mounting hardware, your length of pull andhow much eye reliefthe scope has.
Push the mount forward to engage the rail slot so that the mount wont move under recoil.
These surfaces are usually machined flat, so this technique can be used across multiple optics and mount styles.
Ring cap screws generally get 15 in./lbs., tightened in a criss-cross pattern.
I dont use or recommend thread locker on the ring cap screws.
In my experience, its unnecessary.
Start in the center of the lens and move outward in a large circular motion out to the edge.
This will keep your lenses clean for superb performance.
