HOW TO get your SCOPE MOUNT HEIGHT

[@michaelnovack2217]

This was very helpful. I've been in and out of the shooting industry for 37 years and nobody has ever shown me this method. Thank you for adding another tool to the skills box.

Some ring manufactures still use bottom of the ring to base. I just lay my scope on the rifle and measure scope to base top and use corresponding Weaver metal rings. Lap them in good and perfect fit. 23.99 and 10 bucks sweat equity. Used to shoot groundhogs and deer right there. Prone, sitting, kneeling. Tree and branches in the woodline, sray in the shade and shadows. Rarely missed. A friend of mine that was right there too did the same. Great videos... Thanks.. brings back memories..

I wish to work here one day, I love learning all this, and using your hellfire break

[@BrianF.1969]

That's a great way to measure. Easier than what I just did and maybe a bit more precise. Now I just need to go find some washers or some type of spacers in the garage and double check :)

[@ivanortiz7248]

This is the best explanation. Thank you

[@michaelmoore4378]

I like that barrel looks sharp!

[@warddanger]

never stop making these videos

[@cameronduveax282]

In the uk we need to take into account the suppressor.

[@coltonwall6704]

I'm going to use washers to do this in the future, thank you!

You da man!!!!

[@machiningcoolstuff9124]

Not all scope tubes are measured in metric dimensions.... Some still measure 1 inch tube diameters. But that's usually 25.4mm +/-. Splitting hairs, LOL!!!!

[@area419]

Anymore the number of 1” tubes sold (especially to our precision-centric audience) is quite small, but hair successfully split!

I wear bifocals and have difficulty tilting my head back far enough to look through the scope unless I mount it super high. It is my understanding that having the scope elevated will have an adverse effect on accuracy? Do other shooters have issues with bifocal/bifocal glasses? Any suggestions?

[@area419]

No, not necessarily. You have greater potential for issues if your rifle is off-level, but if everything is level there is no downside to having the scope a little higher

[@DEL_hunting]

@@area419 thank you for your response

[@daveknowles3055]

@@DEL_hunting You could also order a set of bifocals with occupational lenses. A lot of mechanics use these, essentially instead of the reader at the bottom of the lens it is placed at the top of the lens which means you would have a more "natural" position on the rifle.😃

[@DEL_hunting]

I haven't heard of doing glasses like this, but I see how that would work! So, eyeglass places would know how to do that if I asked for that? Thank you so much for tje suggestion! @daveknowles3055

[@jimothy-johnson]

@@area419 This is an old comment but MDT did a few videos on this and there is essentially no difference height over bore makes when it comes to errors due to canting the rifle. At least for ring heights that actually exist. Even at 1000 yards with 5 degrees cant it's fractions of an inch between 1.5" and 30" HOB at least from the math I've seen.

[@sadmazOR]

Too low scope rings with 20 moa or more rail isnt good for shooting with supressor because you will catch a lot of mirage from barrel and can itself, even with cover.

[@PkwyDrive13]

Yeah... If you watched the video he covered that.

[@not4younot4you70]

how to measure 20moa area419 scope mount for sight height. trying to input that into the BC calculator would like some help.

[@andym436]

Any tip for getting the scope height correct in relation to your eye position?

[@leejerry8425]

adjust cheek piece and length of pull

[@NiteWorXTV]

America is the moa of the measuring world.

[@area419]

How dare you…

[@NiteWorXTV]

​@area419 learn metric ya bums lol, you shoot 9mm, 10mm and shoot in mils/ centimeters lol

[@VicHimself]

No civilized human should be shooting in moa...

[@darklyte24]

How much longer til the Cantilever scope mount becomes available?

[@area419]

We are making mounts as quickly as we can! Standard config with 20MOA will see a restock first, cantilever after that

[@peterobinson29]

Advice please on Arca rail for Tikka T1X and Blaser R8 please? Which one? How to mount and do I need longer fittings? I think the Tikka has them already and the Blaser may need additional fitting? Thanks

[@area419]

We have several videos covering these questions in depth if you look around on the page!

[@GenXisT]

Did he say "freedom measurements?" Assuming that metric is somehow communist or unfree? What's the measurement used for bullets? Specifically the most commonly used pistol ammo? Sigh...

[@jamesdenton3692]

How sad ,EH 🤣
