How can you mount and sight-in scopes properly


To bring accuracy in shooting you have to first choose the right rifle scope for your hunt. You can make your hunt easy by mounting your scope properly and sight-in your scope correctly. And also check that they have right bases and rings.  So before going for hunting check out all the requirements you need for your rifle scope. You can fix them very all by your own if you follow certain instructions.


  • Take your gun to a qualified gunsmith and have your gun drilled and tapped if it is not done to accept bases.

  • Then degrease the gun with gun scrubber before attaching the bases to the barrel of the gun. Gun scrubber removes all the oil, dirt and grime and makes the surface clean.

  • Locite threadlocker must be applied to the screws before screwing the bases to the barrel. If you do not use locate threadlockers then the guns will vibrate the screws and the scope will become loose. Hence the guns won’t shoot accurately.

  • Then attach the front ring to the front base with a Leupold Mounting Tool. The rear ring has to be attached to the rear base using a Leupold Ring. Check that the screws are tightened with the torque bit.

  • The scope should be then laid in the rings. Different guns and scopes are to be mounted in different positions so that it gives the shooter the correct eye relief.



Follow the instructions for mounting and sight-in the scopes and get the accuracy. You won’t miss a shot then and each shot will be a successful one. Go through the details about how to mount and sight-in scopes and give the perfect shots.
