Marine Firearm Instructor Teaches Simplified Scope Mounting for Long-Range Shooting - Andy Slade

[@CrippledEagle]

Thank You for the concise explanation. Looking forward to seeing and learning more.

[@OryxChassis]

Glad it was helpful!

First class video from ORYX / MDT

We appreciate the comment! We'll be releasing more videos every week.

One thing that would be important to mention is how the bolt throw angle interfere with the eye piece (especially large eye piece like the one you have). Sometimes with 90 degrees bolt throw angle you must have higher ring mounts for the bolt to travel back.

Truly appreciate the info being dribbled out of this guy's mind. I know you have more and I'll be waiting

[@OryxChassis]

More coming every week! If you have any questions let me know.

Good video Marine. It all starts with the basics of a proper setup, without it, we end up chasing the dope. Im new to long range precision shooting. My rifle is a PRP .338LM, Discovery 5-30/56 to learn with, then upgrade. Subbed. Semper Fi brother.

It would be nice to also see leveling with a leveling wedge as sometimes they can be easier to use. Not sure if there are any pros or cons between the two methods.

[@OryxChassis]

That's definitely something we can look at for following up in the future!

[@OryxChassis]

There are a lot of ways to do it, that is for sure!

[@joshuajackson8112]

This method rings true to me now does leveling the scope to the action with the little bubble levels even matter?

[@toddb930]

Thank you for the excellent instruction!

[@xrbperformance4290]

Why do you torque the rings before the mount? one might think that tightening the mount at the end might make it twist or move a bit and mess everything from there up

[@MDTTAC]

We use a zero cap design with our rings, and that is how you install them. Allows the scope to be easily adjusted and tested during install.

Does height matter if your hands rub against the scope each time you pull back the bolt action lever? Would that be cause to have higher height rings, or just deal with it because you’re sacrificing accuracy by raising the scope?

[@cda4662]

Thank you

[@weekendwarrior8334]

What height rings are used in this video? Thanks

[@MDTTAC]

1.25" high rings.

[@marinevet7273]

I notice rings that are low,medium high or some other variation. How do I choose the correct one for ordering. Intend on shooting long range. Semper Fi

[@bryanmasis1595]

It all depends on what you’re shooting, and the size of the objective lens. There’s some calculators out there to help you out,

[@gerard0l6569]

What you didnt show (correct me if Im wrong) is getting the level on the scope actually level. I know they are a pain in the A$$ sometimes to get level. I'm assuming that once you make sure the scope is level with the plum line, then you can adjust the level to actually be level with scope? Can you clarify?- thanks brother.

[@eggbert191]

In my case I put a level on my scope rail and one on my muzzle brake. Then I'm mount my scope and use the level on the brake as my reference. Once the reticle is level to a plumb line I tighten my rings. Then add the scope level still using the level on the brake as reference. He has the level on his tripod to reference the whole time. You can also place a level on your scope turret but remove the cap and level off the internal turret for proper reading

[@OryxChassis]

You're correct. Once the reticle is plumb then you finish tightening the level on the scope tube. That way you can tell if the reticle is level with the world by looking at the bubble level.

[@joshuajackson8112]

This method rings true for me. Now does making sure the scope is level to the action even matter?

[@upcycle.outdoorsman9629]

Is your mustache still like that? I guess 'soup night' is pretty infrequent? I was a Marine coach detailed to Damn Neck range in Virginia Beach while I was in Security Forces. Semper Fi.

[@longshooter457]

How tall of rings should be used? Any input on that?
