I just finished putting togeth my scope and set up on my HS HTR.
First off the screws I got with the IOR base were the wrong diameter and thread for the HS reciever.
It took me 2 weeks to get the right ones.
Then they didn't fit the base(I should have thought of this)
So I drilled out the holes in the base.
After that I see that the screws are all 11mm and the length needed is different for each hole in the base since it is tapered.
finally everything was right.
I even found a 30mm steel bar that I could use to settle the rings out with.
I mounted it in the rings and gave it a few taps with a plastic mallet.
After that I took it out and mounted the scope.
Leveled the rifle with a bubble and leveled the crosshairs on a plumb line.
It looks like everything is in perfect order.
So tomorrow I will be spending the day at the range with my new toy, it's been 6 months since I got the rifle, 2 weeks since I got the scope...
As you can appreciate I am pretty keep to get some rounds down the barrel.
I'll be sure to post the results as tomorrow night.
Good shooting to the rest of you for the weekend.
