Its such a pricey peice of kit to buy if you're not doing this regularly or only have a few firearms to set up. Alignment bars, lapping bars, levels, torque driver.

There isn't a forum communal kit floating around at all? I'd contribute to this. I'd like to do it properly. Do it once, do it right.

Truth is mate there are LOTS of pitfalls for the unwary or inexperienced to fall into. Lots of guys do not get it right. And if you take your rifle to your local store then they could very well not do it properly either. Two things are most important : the scope does not get damaged and it gets locked down properly and tight. Maybe stick to rings with plastic inserts unless you know what you are doing ?
