Mounting Rifle Scopes – Some Ideas

Mounting Rifle Scopes – Some Ideas Every hunter and another shooter that relies on accuracy for the success of their outings or endeavors understands that certain processes have to be followed to ensure they have the best time out there whether they hunt whitetail deer or shoot at certain other targets, also during competition.

One of the most important issues remains to have a great telescopic sight that is attached to their rifle and that sits on top of the rifle’s receiver. Some buy their rifles from retailers with scopes attached to the firearm whereas many thousands of hunters and shooters worldwide prefer to mount the scope on their own. This has become a preferred choice for so many since they have options in terms of which they can look around for the sights of their choice, including the system they can use to mount these. This refers to the base and rings that will ensure you attach or position your scope correctly and precisely to guarantee you accuracy, without which the hunter may never taste success.

This scope mount system of base and rings is used to attach or mount the scope so it stays in position and does not move when you fire your rifle – to ensure you do not sacrifice accuracy when you pull the trigger. The slightest movement of scope will cause the shooter to miss, which emphasizes the fact that the scope should be perfectly mounted. Therefore rifle owners make sure they buy a good scope mount system from a recommended retailer or dealer – or online source – to use when they mount the scope on top of the firearm.

The rifle owner has, in addition to where they buy from, choices about buying either a 1- or 2piece scope mounting system. That will depend on some factors such as, for example, the rifle you use as some are more suited to the 1-piece and others, again, to the other option.

Very often retailers and instructors offer great advice in this regard and may be able to advise on which system would be better for use with the, says Browning, or your Henry, your Kimber or, for that matter the Marlin or Thompson Center you own.

Whatever one’s choice, it remains important to read up, to talk to the experienced shooter and retailer that you trust for advice. It is also important to know too that, to mount the scope as opposed to having someone else do it for you, you will need certain self-help tools at home to complete the mounting.

These include the base and rings, of course, degreaser, gun oil, a removable thread-locker, screwdriver, wrench, and level. This is meant for the person that is happy to follow the exact instructions of the manufacturer who could also be the designer and marketer of the system you prefer. By following instructions and visiting a website that may even have a short video of the mounting process, you may be doing yourself a favor.

Before you mount the scope, be sure that the surfaces onto which you mount are clean: remove grease, dust, and other dirt. Degrease every screw hole after you remove screws with the appropriate screwdriver. Secure and lever your scope in a vise, and level the rifle with even a short level. Now mount the base of the system after you add a small amount of oil on surfaces to help prevent future rust between the receiver and scope base. Add thread-locker to screw threads so they do not come loose with time.

When the base is in place, mount the rings according to the instructions of the retailer, manufacturer, or another marketer. Thereafter make sure you set eye relief by asking an expert to advise you, then level the scope – once again with some advice from those who have done this in the past or who do it all the time (such as an instructor, an expert at the gun shop, or the professional at the website you order your system from) so you feel confident that you have done the installation correctly.

Fortunately, the best and most professional retailers and website owners and managers are always happy to offer their customers the best advice; therefore more and more people are choosing this route, buying from a good website with a good name for the quality products they manufacture and sell their customers.
