Howdy,
I've mounted a bunch of 3-9x scopes on hunting rifles, but I am about to mount my Vortex Viper 6.5-20x44 mil dot on my Savage 11/111 XP Hunter with some Warne Maxima rings. I will also be installing an Vortex anti-cant level on the scope as well.
After I do that, I will be mounting my Vortex Crossfire II 4-12x44 with Vortex Viper rings on my Colt LE6940 AR. I currently have a 3-9x42 Nitrex (Weaver) scope in a Promag one piece flat-top mount. Is this worth doing? Should I use the Promag mount instead of the Vortex rings?
Long story short, I've watched the videos on YouTube about the basics of mounting scopes, but is there a secret to mounting long-range scopes? Is there a better way to ensure level over balancing a small level on the top? And for the record, I do not have a torque wrench capable of mounting the scope. I plan on going hand-tight.
All help is appreciated!
