What you will learn
This online course is a detailed tutorial on how to mount scopes for extreme accuracy.
You will learn how to measure for scope base stress, how to epoxy bed the base to the receiver to account for the stress, how to evaluate the fit of the scope into the rings, and how to epoxy bed the scope into the rings for the very best accuracy possible.
Also, there are some advanced tips and techniques for adjusting and bedding the bases to optimize and center the windage adjustments in a scope, plus bedding the bases and/or rings to maximize the elevation adjustments of a scope for longer-range shooting!
