Some Basic Ideas About Mounting A Scope On Your Firearm

1. Some Basic Ideas About Mounting A Scope On Your Firearm Few hunters and other shooters take to the field – or the shooting range – without a good quality scope or telescopic sight attached to the top of their gun or rifle. This is true under all circumstances, whether you hunt or shoot with a Ruger, a Browning, Savage or one of the other brands. Of course having a quality scope attached to your firearm will help support accuracy and precision when you fire at your target. Some hunters and shooters buy their rifle – or gun or handgun - with the rifle scope already attached to the firearm, wile many prefer to buy the rifle and sight/telescopic sight separately. Therefore they acquire the scope, and then proceed to mount it to their firearm. This is done with a scope mount system to ensure the scope stays in place, that it never moves out of position, even in the slightest bit, since this will compromise accuracy when you aim and shoot. Make sure you use a system that is compatible with your firearm, be that the Ruger, Savage, Tikka, Marlin or another. To attach the scope, you need scope rings and a base. Even though the rings and base are different parts, they are both necessary for the process of mounting the scope to the firearm. The ring is that part that directly affixes the scope to your rifle or other firearm, while the base is the part that is mounted directly to the firearm for the rings to be able to hold the scope in position. The rings are connected to base, therefore, to ensure that the scope can be attached and held in place. If you do not have quality scope rings and a base, then the scope may move and sacrifice accuracy when the shot is fired. This means that the serious hunter or shooter will acquire a quality scope, and they will make sure they acquire quality scope rings and bases to go with it. Therefore it is vital never to buy cheap, sub-standard rings and bases for your scope mount system – you will be doing yourself a disservice if you go out to buy the first cheap scope mounting system. Deal with a trusted, recommended retailer or website, a service known for the quality of their products and services. Making sure you deal with a reputable supplier ensures that you acquire good rings and bases on which to attach your scope. It is important that your scope matches the size of the scope rings you have on the rifle – for the scope to fit. The rings must match the scope’s tube diameter. Therefore, a 1-inch scope is paired with 1-inch rings, the same way that 30mm scopes fit with 30mm rings. There are more options, such as, say, a 34mm fit. Scope rings are made in different heights, which is another consideration for the person buying their base and rings separately. Therefore, ask the retailer (or look at options from your online service provider, if you buy your scope mount system from a good, recommended website) to advise you so you buy the system that allows you to mount the scope as close as possible to the firearm’s bore. It is also important to make sure you choose the most applicable mount system for your scope. Rings can come in either a 1-piece, or 2-piece configuration, and your choice will depend on personal preference. Also, some brands will only be matched with specific rings or mounts only offered by that brand. An example in this regard that refers, is the Ruger77/22 bolt action rifles from the brand.

2. Therefore, it is always a good idea to check with the retailer or website whether or not you may be limited. A good service provider will immediately inform you of such examples. Fortunately, the good suppliers will not sell you rings and bases that are incompatible with your firearm and its scope. Deal with a trusted, experienced service that will add value to your efforts at finding the most appropriate scope mounting system for your firearm.
