      But he got the scope ring pins wrong, the rifle recoil backwards into your shoulder, so the pin will contact the front of the hole NOT the back.

    On a springer rifle I fined that you have to lock the rings down tight to keep from loosening.

    What was left out is whether to use a low, medium, or high mount especially for removal magazines such as a Marauder Air Rifle and different size scopes. The video was through expect for what was stated above.

      Then why was he wrong on the ring pins against the back of the hole, a rifle recoils backwards into your shoulder, the pins would stop against the front of the hole, NOT THE BACK...

  • @senatorjosephmccarthy2720
    @senatorjosephmccarthy2720 6 років тому +1

    I cut the ring off a single scope mount, then install it at the back end of the grooves. Then set the rear functioning scope mount against the cut-down mount. Periodically check the bolts for tightness, and apply locktite if they keep loosening. The scope sets a bit further forward than optimum, maybe a half inch, but it's there for every shot.

    Hey Tom I heard you had a Diana Model 10 target pistol when you were younger, I bought one used a few years back and love it, but I recently made a set of left handed grips for it and upon replacing them a spring popped out of the metal grip area but it has rendered the gun inoperable ( the gun wont fire when loaded) any help with this would be appreciated thanks.

  • @francisgricejr
    @francisgricejr Рік тому +1

    So these rings would work with a Crosman M4-117? Are there any recommendations you might have for this specific rifle? Such as what scope would be a good one, the size of the rings, and anything else that might be helpful. Thanks, and I love the video! I must let you know I've never done anything like this, so I'm a complete beginner with scopes.

    This video is from 13, wondering the base issue with RWS Diana is still true, and do I still need to add another base on top. I just bought a Diana Magnum 360 and trying to understand what scope is best and how to install, any feedback would be great! My ballpark budget for the scope is $200.

  • @Sertao2013
    @Sertao2013 8 років тому +3

    Its best if you put the gun in a gun rest and level the gun , then setup a plumb line on the wall and turn the scope till it lines up with the plumb line . Lightly tighten the screw just enough so it wont turn and check the plumb line again . Put a small level on the scope cap if it has a flat spot . notice where the bubble is ,Most scope caps are not level with the cross hairs because the threads in the cap keep it from being level and scope makers just don't place the cross hair glass to match the scope cap . Mark the center of the bubble with a marker . As you cross tighten the screws like he said keep the bubble in the center .This way when you get every thing tightened down you know if you have moved the scope from the plumb line or not . Check the plumb line again after your finished screwing down the scope . Making the scope cross hair level with the gun will make a big difference the farther you shoot . Don't just eyeball it like the guy in the video is doing ,you will have nothing but trouble at longer distances .

  • @peteflynn3923
    @peteflynn3923 7 років тому +1

    Why didn't you torque those fasteners? The x pattern is the best method, but torque is the best way to do the second stage tightening. You cannot overtighten with a torque tool.

  • @drhouse5504
    @drhouse5504 3 роки тому

    This is a great video but please, could somebody help me understand the method Tom uses when lining the cross hairs straight. He looks throug a scope with both eyes open and tells that ”when I see the vertical line bisectin the rifle, I know the scope is straight”. I have Hawke 8-32X56 Sidewinder and a regular shape and lenght Steyr Challenge Hunting rifle but I do not see the vertical or horizontal line anywhere near the barrel?? I do not see the rifle at all. I often shoot with scope both eyes open and never see any parts of the gun in my field of view no matter what I do. So obviously that technic does not work with all of the scopes but the scope itself has to have certain physical dimensions and not too high magnification I suppose. I tried with minimum magnification by 8 x and it did not work.
    I would be gratefull if someone could explain better in detail this otherwise handy looking method.
