Thread: Fitting a scope - DIY or better to get someone who knows what they're doing?

Hi all - I've recently purchased a howa 1500 which came with a scope. I've upgraded to a better scope (vortex diamondback) and rings (warne) purchased online. My question is whether I can install this stuff myself or whether I should get someone who knows what they're doing to do it. I've watched a few youtube vids and it seems pretty straightforward (though I don't have a torque screwdriver or the fancy small level). But welcome advice from those with more experience. And if it is best to get someone else to do it, any recommendations for good people in Wellington (ideally not up the Kapiti Coast as most people seem to recommend).

Apologies if this is covered elsewhere in the forum - I couldn't find a relevant thread.

Thanks for your help
