How to Mount a Precision Riflescope

I use German tourqe on everything. Goodentight.

I appreciate videos like this that get right to the point with useful information. Thank you, Vortex.

Thank you for keeping it short and on topic with clear, easy to follow instructions.

Thank you for posting this video. Very helpful for me as I am a first time student at assembling my rifle.

Great instructional, thank you! I'm going to be mounting my first scope to my Ruger American Ranch 7.62 x 39.

Best video for this out there. Never much been into bolt guns or scopes so this was very valuable.

Instead of the spirit level on top of the scope, hang a plumb line. Use a powerful flashlight to project the reticle next to the plumb line then adjust as needed and tighten. This insures that any tolerance difference between the turret and the reticle is not stacked.

I’m picking up a vortex viper hs lr 4-16 today for my .300 wby. I trust your optics enough to take it elk hunting in Colorado this October😁😁👍

Great Video! Thank you! Purchased your precision matched rings. Excellent quality product

Fantastic vid....going to use this method on my air rifle.....BIG thank you...Tom in uk.

Thanks for making this easy to understand. I can do it myself now and don't need to go to the range to have my scope mounted.

Thanks, this was very useful!

Best scope mounting video! Very precise! I would add that when tightening down the rings to the scope, that you continually check to see if the ring gaps on both sides are even. They are notorious for getting off easily. The only thing I would add is base rings like Talley require lapping every time. Picatinny ring systems are not one solid piece that connects to the rifle. Therefore more forgiving when mounting a scope (no binding points).

So this is how I mount all rifle scopes regardless of brand I recently sent in 2 vortex HST Viper 4-16x44 scopes that the reticles cant left 15° or so when the turrets are level. The repair technicians in barneveld said they put it on an inclinometer machine and said my turrets were what was crooked not the reticle. Short point is that why is it I run into this problem with vortex but no other companies? Turrets and reticles line up near perfect on my leupolds, Burris, and even nikon and Simmons scopes. Your representative also told me that when they mount a scope they just eyeball it and get it close never mentioned using a bubble level at all. I'm not very impressed right now 1800$ in 2 scopes and 2 mounts to deal with all this.

Great video! Slightly off topic but which rifle stock model is that?

One comment, at 1:38 where you slid the scope back and forth in the rings, be careful, it can lead to an annoying scratch in your beautiful anodized finish on your brand new expensive scope!

Is there a reason to push one ring forward and one backwards on a pica-rail before fastening? Or is forward on both the best?

Thanks a million! Very important video
