Default RE: Mounting A Scope???

Just make sure to mount the scope as far forward in the rings you can and still get the full sight picture through the scope (without black rings around the sight picture). That way you are less likely to get 'bit' by the scope during recoil.

Other than that I would recommend sanding the inside of the rings with some 200 grit sandpaper so it gets a good grip on the scope then make sure you get it somewhat snug (but not all the way). Then take it out to the range and practice throwing it up to your sholder like you're going to shoot and make sure the reticle posts are lined up right. After doing that several times and adjusting you should have it close enough to tighten it down all the way. I use locktite on my screws on my gun just to be sure. Just don't get them so tight you'll never get them off again.
