I found out what you paid for that. Good buy!!!
Got a Gen II Viper PST 5x25x50 FFP for birthday/anniversary/Christmas. Once I got the scope in and took some measurements, ordered a pair of Badger Ordnance MAX 50 30 mm rings. Came in yesterday. This things are built like a.... Bradley (go 11B!). 6 screws per ring, #8 torx screws. HEAVY!! Can't wait to get it all mounted and do some shooting.
Well....... Spent some time last week dry firing to make sure everything felt right prior to shooting on Saturday. Couldn't shake the feeling that the scope isn't exactly level. I've got levels I use when mounting but they won't work on this particular set up due to combination of the scope sitting VERY low/close to the rail and there not being any easily accessed flat surface anywhere else on the rifle. So.... I've ordered the Wheeler Professional Scope Reticle leveling system. DOM DOM DOM!! Everything should be plumb by Wendsday and I'll be shooting at some point over the 3 day weekend coming up.
So, I'm now officially in the scope mounting business. Hit me up!
OH, and I also picked up the Vortex Defender flip caps for both front and back. After I do some shooting and verify new dope based on updated scope height, I'll be ordering some of their Dope Disks that fit in the Eye Piece cover. Seems a little gimcky on one hand but on the other.... a simple solution that I'm less likely to forget at home.

Will do, and neither does mine. Once I have a warm and fuzzy, I'm going to remount everything I have. Enough can't be said about having the right tool for the job. As far as optics and action screws goes, I haven't used Loctite since getting a torque screwdriver.Let me know how the Wheeler’s work. I’m thinking about ordering some. It drives me crazy to level a scope with my 2 little levels at home then ride our to my range and realize it’s off a little bit. My OCD doesn’t like it

My partner in B&M Rifles has everything that can be bought for leveling optics. Every time he hands me one I throw it up and say "Hmmmmm, just a little off". It drives him CRAZY. Talk about ocd, I mean he has a fit!Let me know how the Wheeler’s work. I’m thinking about ordering some.

Which I suppose you can use all the best leveling equipment offered, but in the end, every person shoulders a firearm differently. I went shooting with a gunsmith buddy of mine and he wanted me to shoot his rifle. I put the rifle up and looked through the scope and the crosshairs looked like they where leaning left. My brother in law was with us and he thought it was leaning right. Haha. So maybe in the end, the best beat is to just eyeball it like I’ve always done?
U can also get the $5 leatherman brewzer and it will do the sameMidwayusa has Magpul on promo, I ordered an AFG2.
If you add the Gerber pocket sharpener shipping is free.
