I want to talk about how to properly mount a scope on to a accurized rifle or
a sniper rifle first thing you want to do is don't touch the scope adjust the
stock first most of your good stocks now are adjustable for comb and for length
so first thing you do is size the stock properly to the shooter for most you
want the stock long enough out to that it gets to the bend in the elbow all
right so this stock has already been properly adjusted for length for me I'm
good to go next thing I want to do then I want to take this scope I've already
got it loosely set in the Rings and I want to mount it on the gun right get it
so it sits nice and level first roughly where I wanted it that ain't it just get
it in the general direction alright then you're going to want to check your eye
relief just make sense that the eye relief is almost right not that big a deal alright
so get behind the gun eye relief not quite good enough yet I need to bring it
back just a little bit more you notice it's still just a little bit right see
that's not bad we can work with that for right now all right so what I'm going to
do is that's close all right so what I'm gonna do is I'm going to slide those
rings forward alright what I'm doing is there is a little bit
of play inside the Picatinny rail I'm sliding the Rings forward in those slots
because recoil of the gun is going to slide them forward anyways once I have
them forward then all I'm going to do is I'm going to torque them down for
65-inch pounds
you'll get your pop go til you get that pop again alright so I've got that 65
inch pounds now what you want to do is you want to adjust the comb the height
you want to make sure that when you relax your head on that stock you will
actually open your eye up you want your eye looking directly through the center
of the scope so when you have the actual shooter of the gun you don't do it
yourself you whoever the guns going to be assigned to he's the one that needs
to be behind the gun he gets behind it relaxes opens up his eye I'm Way too low
alright so you're going to loosen up the stock now on this puppy here I've
already marked it where correct is for me but I'm going to double check it
again close my eyes relax that puppy's dead-on balls accurate right where I
want all right now what I'm going to do is I'm actually because I still have the
scope loose I'm going to slide the scope forward and reason why I'm doing that is
I want to get that shadow inside the scope I want to get the shadow all the
way around the sides okay now when I look through it and I have that shadow
now that's really going to let me adjust that comb even better now my my eyes a
little bit to the left I didn't catch that before so to slide it over the cool
part about this accuracy international rifle is not only does the scope adjust
up and down it also adjusts left and right so I'm going to adjust it just a
little bit right on so I'm adjusting the comb of the stock just a little bit to
left because that's what I needed and then check it again perfect right on the
money right once I've done that now now I'm going to go back and I want to make
sure my eye relief is perfect I'm going to do is I'm going to slide that scope
back in the Rings to roughly where I had it before
and now I'm going to slowly adjust it forward and backward until the eye
relief is perfect now perfect eye relief there's actually a window you want to
set that scope the maximum magnification that's going to shorten that down but
there still is a little bit of play there right now you want that to be as
far forward as possible it's going to cut down on the chance you're getting a
scope bite over your eye you don't want your eye too close to that scope all
right one I want to get rid of that shadow completely but that's about it I
want it as far forward as possible I once I've done that moved it forward
as much as possible now I want to level my crosshairs first step to that is we
need to level the gun itself now best way to do that is with a level right all
your weapon systems are going to have a level spot on them this particular
accuracy international you can use right back here on the back of the bolt and
also right here on the stock I'm going to lay this one in which just a tad bit
off now if I was doing this in a gun vise be a little bit easier to do but
we're actually using the bipod of the gun once I get that level then on top of
the scope right there I'm going to can't that till I get it level
once I get it level I'm going to verify one more time
correct correct I'm going to leave it there and I'm going to take ply a little
bit of Loctite to all these screws and I'm going to tighten them down a little
bit on one side a little bit on the other side slowly work your way around
you'll keep doing that a little bit at a time keep going back and double-check
the level on on the scope all right another way to do it is you can actually
hang a plumb bob out at distance and actually level your crosshairs that way
all right but is it imperative that you make sure that the scope is level if you
want to add a scope level afterwards that's fine but you've got to actually
level the crosshairs on the gun first then you can add a level to it once
you're done doing that then the last step is get down and adjust that ocular
focus all right so what that is is I want those crosshairs to be crystal
clear so I've got everything adjusted properly I want to take the parallax
adjustment knob set it all the way to parallax just find some out of the sky
blank wall somebody you have to look at anything you're just looking at the
crosshairs I'm just looking at the reticle itself you're going to look
through and then adjust the ocular focus adjustment make that puppy crystal clear
done that this scope is mounted properly we're going to let our Loctite set and
for a few hours and then this gun is ready to go out and shoot that's how to
properly mount a scope on a sniper rifle the only questions or comments are
