How To Use Scope Ring Mounts

By John Kelly


Setting up a rifle can be more difficult than what it seems to be. So, allow this article guide you in getting the perfect shot. With your increased skills, you shall start to feel more pride for yourself since you no longer need the help of other people. You shall pursue your passion on your own and this can be calming.

The first step is to match rings and bases. Scope ring mounts would only work with the rings which are made for them. So, it would be best for you to keep your collection organized as much as possible. In that way, you would not be wasting time when you are already in this field and you cannot lose your enthusiasm as well.

You should have the lowest position for the base. This is what normal shooters do since it helps them have a better sight of the target. You may have to slouch a bit more and ruin your posture but nothing can replace the adrenaline which you can get from this situation. Always remember your reasons for being in this sport.

Make sure that you have already locked everything down. You cannot lose your things in this wild place since that would compromise your position from your target. So, have a second run down on the locks and even let one of your friends judge your set up. Do not be too lenient on your first day of shooting.

Check how the scope is rotating as of the moment. It must have a smooth routine especially when you need to adjust your view from time to time. Every adjustment has to be done smoothly for the target to remain in place and ready for your shot. The delay can only make them aware of your presence and never come back.

You should not bring the scope close to your eyes. Put it in the recommended distance for you to have an awareness on your own eyesight. Now, if the recoil of your gun is higher than the usual, the scope should be placed farther away and you are suggested to wear a protective gear too.

Tighten the screws with the use of the right tools. In that way, you can secure the scope in the distance which you are already comfortable with. You should not make a lot of changes especially when one has poor eyesight and when you are still finding the range which you can manage.

Make sure that the bore sight is compatible with the caliber. You cannot just experiment since that would make you think that you have accuracy even when you are a few inches short. So, learn to play by the book for now and only buy more mounts when you already get better.

Do not stop practicing until you already feel one with your gun. It may take time but this is why it is your new hobby now. Your own progress can be your motivation to be sharper and leave no mercy.
