Time to Mount and Level the SWFA SS 12x42mm Scope - Mile Rifle Pt 8

We have the Weaver base bedded and we figured out the length-of-pull. Time to mount and level the scope on the Savage 12FV. We'll take a look at two methods, choosing option #2 in this case.

2. Finding Length of Pull: https://youtu.be/UEl4R-ecpcE

Once you know your length of pull, find out your scope's perfect position by getting into your firing position with your eyes closed. Open your eyes. Now move the scope backward and forward until the picture is perfect. Mark that spot on the scope. You'll need it later.

Level your rifle in a vise or other reliable rest. Using the mark as your guide, put on the top straps of your scope rings - not hard enough to prevent turning by hand; just firm enough to prevent turning by gravity. Set up a white card behind your scope, then point the beam of a flashlight back through the objective lens. Using a plumb line, cant the scope until the reticle lines up with gravity. Torque down the rings, and you're ready to go!
