[QUOTE="livetohunt, post: 1417230, member: 100535"] [ATTACH]93250[/ATTACH] So I did a quick job mounting my scope at home and it came out crooked as all get out to the action. So I decided to bring my gun into work and see how good I could mount everything. We have a massive granite plate at work so I was able to get the picatinny rail sitting flat front to back within .005” across the entire rail length. It’s surprisngly flat, hardly any warp. Then I clamped the gun to an angle plate and shimmer the angle plate until the rail was within .0015” of being flat to the granite. Double checked vs the action and it’s .0025”. Used pin gauge set to get the scope within .001” of being square to the rail. Tightened the scope down and then tightened the scope level with the bubble sitting dead zero. Think I may finally be happy with a scope mounting job. [/QUOTE]
