Summary

Jimmy, Mark and Erik gather round the gun bench as Ryan Muckenhirn mounts up a brand new Diamondback Tactical FFP on Erik’s rifle to compete in the Vortex Extreme 2018. Follow along in your own gun room as Ryan actually does the entire mounting procedure and explains all the steps in detail while podcasting real-time. Even though we’re mounting up one scope on one gun with one type of ring, the crew discusses the many different varieties of rings, mounts, scopes and rifles on the market and how their differences may or may not factor into the process. From bolt guns to AR’s, many shooters would be surprised how a relatively simple set of tools can get the perfect mount every time and avoid the hassle of having to take everything to the store or a gun smith. Heck – you’ll probably even be able to do it better and more accurately yourself, too! Already listened, but want the show notes for reference afterwards?

0:23.5	So we want to do a podcast talking all about scope mounting,
0:26.6	being that it is a very important process to the overall accuracy really of your
0:31.5	rifle or your entire setup is the actual
0:33.5	mounting of the scope and so actually we're going to do it now while mounting up a

1:22.0	Tools, hand tools.
1:23.5	I have in my hand right now a T25 driver handle.
1:27.0	This particular style of handle matches the fasteners that we have on our rings.
1:31.4	So this is going to be ring-dependent. If you're running a pair of
1:33.8	like our precision match rings, they all use T-25 fasteners on the 30 millimeter, 34 and 35.
