How to Mount a Scope

[cobrachoppergirl]

This is a BS video because my 22 rifle is so old with iron sights, it doesn't have any screws to mount a scope, and there sure as heck ain't going to be some rifle specific little tabby mounts for it. So I need instructions for a more universal kit that will fit anything even if it doesn't have screw holes.

[DallasfuckingTT]

@cobrachoppergirl It's not BS, you're rifle is BS because it does not have scope mounts.

[camerl2009]

@cobrachoppergirl just shoot it with irons if you cant hit anything it because you cant shoot

[TheMotocrossman22]

midway usa is the best i have wactched so far

[BloodSpawn33]

The way they explain it makes it sound more difficult when really, it isnt. All the extra stuff is just if youre gonna keep it on for a while. I happen to swith my scopes often for whatever it is im doing.

[DerFeindr]

Larry Potterfield explains it quicker and better

[MyJt7]

wow. I've been doing it wrong I guess :)

[SequelFinalNight]

They spent more on the Tipton products to mount the scope than the scope and mounts...

[Noobpatty]

"Providing a stress free mounting platform for your expensive scope!"

My scope was $50 plus $10 shipping

[4KawasakiRider4]

OK LISTEN. my scope when sitting perfectly level (turrets wise) sits perfectly in line with my barrel, but when i look in the crosshairs, its slanted right downward slightly. someone help?

[hackamore]

@4KawasakiRider4 - Do you perhaps cant the rifle when you hold it without realizing it?

[4KawasakiRider4]

@hackamore no i alligned the turrets up perfect with the barrel and double check to make sure im not but still does it. the inside of the scope is messed up i think.

very nice video, we could do better. But for airsoft, ill stay with a simple scope mouting. Because those little plastic bbs dont go over 400m.

[kingadaboom]

@Davmm96 I would be shocked to see one fly 100 yards

[yakuza941]

@Davmm96 I would pay you money to see a level bb gun shoot near 100yards.

[DannyDude80]

They may be sponsored by tipton

[yakuza941]

@DannyDude80 then you realized, this is an instructional video from Tipton.

[yakuza941]

@yakuza941 Excuse me, they are both owned by the same company. I hadn't paid much attention at the beginning of this video.

[marijunamissle]

did any one else level up after watching this

[GriffGruff78]

@marijunamissle HA HA!!! 

[BrothersFreedive]

@marijunamissle I lol'ed!

[TheArea510]

i did everything but i forget that i dont even have a scope.

[joerivs80]

ok so i have a good scope, or at least i thought it was. it is level based on the turrets but the cross hairs are way tilted. hence "i thought it was a good scope". should i try to level the cross hairs? AND, how would i do that? my guess would be level the gun, place a carpenters level in distance and use the straight edge of level to straighten out the cross hairs? that sound perty good to anyone?

[WarHater000]

uhhhhhh... i was checking for airsoft :)

[vertdriver]

A very good video on how to properly mount a scope for maximum accuracy and shot to shot stability before going to the range. the extra effort is in alignment and scope stability pays off in ease of final sighting. For those who give so many negative comments, you realize this is a youtube video describing how to maximize the mounting portion of your optics. Creators of this video realize you can buy a presighted rifle or throw on a scope on any rifle without doing any of the above procedures.

[kaufmann85]

Basic kit runs about 100$ at midway. Its hard to beat that wrench on the price point... especially considering its range of torque. If you've invested over a 1k on your optics and over 1k on your rifle things like this are nice. Might not appeal to a novice who isn't obsessed with accuracy or proper instal.

[moviking]

Thanks for the vid, $115.00 for the kit seems like a good investment.

[nagasako7]

lol

I just noticed

There is something therapeutic of a torque wrench clunking/clicking.

[bottle2lip]

@kelleno

no unless you spent a ton of money on a scope and rifle setup. For most people this is overkill

[DKPrepper]

Wow. I was ready for him to check the Concentricity

[StubbyAces]

@kelleno

for the different types of guns and scopes, yeah

[DanGuerrer0]

how do you mount a scope to a Springfield 1903a3

[lynyrd01skynyrd13]

is that a stevens 30.06? it looks identical to the rifle i have

[thewingman1]

No, its a Remington 700. Not sure which chambering.

[TheKodiak72]

@lynyrd01skynyrd13 the camera zooms up on the barrel "Remington Model 700"

[MyREDTAIL]

It's much easier if your only using a one piece base.

[CSTactical1]

Nice video, we just made a similar one with some slightly different techniques...

[venommuaythai]

Great video. Very informative. Thanks.

[pengalauk]

nice video...where can i get all those things neccessary for my rifle?

[sfshrimp]

if you want it PERFECT

[erik7x57]

Like anything else, it depends on what you expect from your rifle. I've mounted a scope to a rifle on my lap, but I don't recommend it.

[ShinraArmy]

aaaand..done! phew, nice tutorial
