Mounting
Mounting your scope properly is important to the accuracy and durability of your
firearm and scope. Proper mounting assures that the scope is aligned to the barrel and
the scope is rigged to the rifle for accuracy. We recommend using the Millett Picatinny
rail and Millett Angle-Loc ™ rings.
Using the base and ring combination that you have chosen, make sure mounting
screws for the base are firmly tightened. On most bolt action rifles, 50 to 60 inch
pounds is suitable for the torque. Loctite
®
Is recommended to prevent the screws
loosening under recoil.
Place the bottoms of the rings onto the base and center and tighten. Make sure ring
bottom is aligned in base and not cocked or out of line with the bore.
Failure to align the base and bottom of the rings can damage the scope.
Lay the scope into the bottoms of the rings, with the eyepiece to the rear, and align the
crosshairs to the vertical and horizontal, moving the scope back and forth to get a full
sight picture. While looking through the scope, align the crosshairs and the eye relief.
The eye relief on this model scope should be about 75mm or 3 inches.
Place the top caps of the rings on the bottoms and slightly tighten the screws. Check
the alignment and eye relief before fully tightening the cap screws.
