[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 564201, member: 30902"] Well that makes it a little tougher. If you have someone that knows what they are doing to help you get started it makes a big difference. When you go to mount your scope be sure not to over torque the allen nuts. They'll snap right off on you. as a general rule if you are using a regular small L Shaped alled wrench as soon as it begins to flex you have them tight enough. When I say that I mean use the long end to run them down and just get them gently snugged. When you go to your final tightening phase, flip it over using the short end as the driver and hold the long side. When it then starts to flex and the nut stops moving you're probably about done. Tighten them one at a time in an X Shaped pattern until each is torqued the same. You've got some good directions above for the rest. [/QUOTE]
