Installation Instrcutions
Clean all fasteners and threaded holes with a degreasing solvent (acetone, isopropyl alcohol, denatured alcohol).
Install the scope mount base to the action using the four stainless steel shoulder bolts. Tighten all screws to finger tight, then torque the screws from back to front using a quality torque wrench to 35 Inch Pounds.
Place the scope in the scope ring bases and level the reticle with the rifle.
Install the scope ring tops, and install the #6 Socket Headed Torx Cap Screws finger tight. Make sure that the ring screws are tightened evenly. This can be confirmed by looking at the gap between the mount base and the scope ring tops.
Shoulder the rifle and move the scope to adjust to your desired eye relief.
With the rifle leveled, adjust the bubble on the scope ring top by tightening the left or right screws on the ring.
Tighten the scope ring tops to the scope manufacturers’ recommended torque in a criss cross pattern. [Note: there is no way the scope manufacturer can know how many screws the mount manufacturer is using or what the size and pitch of those screws could possibly be.] We generally start with 20 in/lbs on robustly manufactured scopes and go up from there. Scope tubes are fairly thin walled and can be crushed by ANY scope ring. The least amount of torque that will prevent the scope from moving in field conditions is recommended.
Loc-Tite thread locking compound can be used if desired.
