NO BS, quick and effective HOWTO for amatures such as myself. Got a similar if not exact set. Thank you sir for a great video!
Nice and straight to the point instructions for this brand scope. Thank you.
No problem 👍
This was easy to understand. It made me realize I need to take it for my first try. Since I have no charges for gunsmith services. I know I can do this though. On my next purchase I will
I shop with palmetto too. They got some good shit fair deals too
Gave me confidence to do this myself. 👍
Glad I could help👍
I would have moved the mount back farther if possible... But if you like it I'm with you! 🤓
Thanks 👍
You DO NOT want your eye piece, center turrets, or beveled edge where the the scope changes size in the front or back to be touching the scope rings!!!! This can throw off groupings😢 please fix
Yeah I was gonna say he missed that, it's going to affect his zero.
Gidday @RomeoindiaCharlieHotel thanks for your input can you please clarify what you mean just so I know what you’re saying, thanks mate. Cheers - Stu
a little late but you dont want your mount touching the adjustments on your scope nor the objective piece, or it will mess with your zero as you shoot. Keep it on the flat neck away from any bevel and or disleveled area
Excellent video. EVERYONE has different preferences. This is what I'm finding in the realm of firearms.

Thanks man, hope I could help in some way 👍
Great video! Does the scope get in the way of your charging handle?
A little bit, not too bad though. It's kind of the nature of the beast with a scope on an AR
Love the paint job on that rifle. Where can a guy get that done? Great video btw.
This was a custom builder set from aero precision. I don't remember which company painted them for them on this one.
The scope mount should be slid back then lock on the pic rail.
Uncle Sam says so anyway. Recoil of the rifle can cause the mount to slide back if it loosens for some reason
I disagree, when you mount the base you want it pushed forward against the lugs of the pic rail and tightened down. When the gun is fired, it moves back....if the mount is to the rear you are relying on the clamp force to hold it in place instead of the physical lug on the pic rail holding it with the clamping force. If the clamp is loose neither way would matter, but sliding it forward gives it a physical barrier to hold it when the gun is fired
That’s incorrect, recoil will force it to move forward, that’s why you pull it forward and tighten
Awesome! Thanks for walking us newbs through it lol!
No problem, thanks 👍
Flipping us off at the 2:41 mark…😂😂😂
😂
This was incredibly helpful!!! Thank you!! One question - Do you find it difficult to chamber a round, given that your fingers will have reach in between the rear of the scope and the lever you have to pull back? Thanks again for an excellent video!
I don't personally find it difficult, I can see why it could be though, depending on the mount you use or eye relief.
@@ballisticallychallenged clearly I’m new to this lol. When you chamber do you use both your index and middle finger and go directly underneath the scope? Or do you use a single finger on the side of the rifle?
@sherwinarae honestly it's personal preference. I just use one finger on the side.... It's more comfortable for me. My son uses both.
Are you setting eye relief at full mag, or 1x? I find on my rig if I set the correct lop, I need to change it and move the stock forward one notch for decent relief at full mag, this with the rear of the scope about 2" behind the charge handle. I see most mount jobs have the end of the scope even with the charge handle which I would prefer but would cause different welds between magnifications, 1x - 8x. Guess this is normal and you just need to find the compromise that's the most comfortable? Same exact scope/mount combo as yours
Hi Sir,
I thank you for making this video because I am new to the AR and am seeking LPVO mounting advice.
Someone is selling an ADM Cantilever 30mm mount for less than half the price and I dont know if its a good fit for my 16" AR15 because of how much cantilever it has. Id like to buy it because it is high quality and is a quick release, but just dont know if it wise.
Again, thank you.
Very good man
Thanks
Nice scope
They are my go to 👍
I had an issue, every time tightened down the scope rings it turned the scope crooked. how do I fix that?
Nice and easy... Alternate tightening opposite screws like 1/4 to a 1/2 turn each screw.
Doing it and I have the string line level. Thanks
Finished up. Everything lined up. Reticle squares up. Line Level is the ticket. Thanks again
No problem man, glad I could help👍
What company makes that ar stand/ vice you’re using? I need something reliable and inexpensive.
It's a real avid. I have a link on the "tools I use" page on my website 👍
Looks Good.
Thanks👍
I think you'll be better off buying a Wheeler Professional Retical Leveling System.
Has to be an old video. Psa has that scope for like 600 now
When they have the coupon code available, they still have them for that price. Usually once a month they do the promo code 👍
Yep $279 with mount
The rear mount should not be flush up against the wind/elev adjustments. I would have an equidistant gap for both rings away from the adjustments.
Ideally you would set the scope perfectly in the middle of the cantilever mount, but that doesn't work all the time. 2 things I keep in mind when mounting a scope on an AR are charging handle access and eye relief. I'll set it wherever it needs to be as long as those are good. It can be right against the center section with the windage and elevation adjustments if that's where it works best. It doesn't interfere with them at all. 👍
@ballisticallychallenged exactly it's set for you're eyes and comfort
Dang, price has doubled since you made this video.
On the optic? They go on sale at least once a month....keep checking
Does loctite need to be used on the cantilever mount thanks
I've never used any
No

do army people ever have to attach scopes/barrels while on missions?
I'm sure they do, they've gotta do everything
What stock is that?
An Odin works zulu bit.ly/3mLw0fF
move your mount forward. Your eye piece should be even with the charging handle.
The eyepiece should be wherever the eye relief is good for you.....
That’s why you have a collapsible stock. You can do what you want but an AR 15 isn’t like a regular hunting rifle. Watch Jerry Miculak video. He explains it well. Also is a better shooter than either of us.
@bobmedic3214 exactly, anyone can do it how you want... The collapsible stock is for length of pull, not eye relief. Set the stock where you would normally shoot the gun then set the scope for eye relief
I hate watching people open up boxes it’s a box for God sakes
then dont watch it.....
what level do you have and what is that ar15 vise thing
I just use a cheap string line level from the hardware store then I have one of these vise blocks www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F3RZvTtL&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AOvVaw3rcwanCt0bg3qcu02J2kCB
