Thread: New scope mounting

Kiaora

Finally got my new scope. It's a bushnell banner 4-12 for my 308. Got it for 190 dollars from reloaders.co.nz, which is pretty competitive with US prices once you pay for shipping.

My question is am I ok to mount it on the old rings myself? I see lots of quite fancy ways of mounting scopes on the internet, is it worth taking it to a gunsmith to get it mounted or is that only for real precision type guns?
In other news, I went for a walk up no.1 line road Ruahines today in the middle of the day and picked up a flick open scope cover... On the off chance you dropped one and are reading this drop me a line.

Cheers
Tom
