Thread: Scope mounting

cheers for all the replies, especially detail provided by @ChrisW and @Puffin. generally good suggestions all round. @Moutere, the bipod is borrowed for the purposes of scope mounting, it weighs as much as the rifle so i have no intention of carrying it around the hills!

i have levelled the rifle lengthways too, tried different surfaces, different levels, different plumb lines, had the stock in a vice, and levelled every flat surface on the scope, the underside, under turret caps etc. it is half to 3/4 of a bubble out every time. spoke with leupold nz, and they are happy to replace. turns out they even have a bit of a reputation for it in states, but as the leupold team here point out, people only generally rant about the bad experiences. he said the last one they had in nz was a year ago (a vx6, so maybe the same one you mentioned @Tahr).

Very kind offer, thanks @Sasquatch, if I have trouble with the replacement too, I will get in touch.
