[QUOTE="rpierce, post: 1927706, member: 20643"] Read the first page or two of the thread. My advice. level the scope on the turret. not the reticle. reticles are rarely truely level compared to how the turrets track. Ive even seen it on $3000 scopes. Use a starret pocket level. not the *** ones you get with mounting kits at your local sporting goods store. Every scope is bedded into the rings of every rifle I build. I require that I mount the scope. Customer can supply scope. Ive ended up not selling rifles because guys wanna mount optics themselves. Not worth it to me. Ive seen too many issues from scopes improperly mounted. I use release agent. The fit is so good I can pick the rifle up by the scope with the top caps off the rings. At that point its impossible for the scope to slip under recoil. Which I guaranteee will happen in lightweight magnums. I had a customer buy a ZCO and spuhr mount after he got his rifle. He swapped scopes and put it in his 300 norma improved. It slipped in the spuhr mounts due to recoil. [/QUOTE]
