Hacks to properly mount your Spuhr ISMS 

I was about to put blue loctite on the screws! Thank you for stopping me.

I use two levels. One goes on the pic rail of the rifle and the other goes on the top of turret scope. It worked.

Perfect video to watch before I start setting up.

Thank you for this video, and your videos in general. Very big help for those of us that find it a fun part of our hobby to do this stuff ourselves.

I have the hunting model, I have no need for the other. I thought maybe the quality would be lessened , but boy I was wrong. This really is a well thought out base and rings. Well worth the price. I used lock tight blue for the base, powdered resign for the ring groves, and no Lock tight on the ring screws. The powdered resign really help getting a positive hold, just that little friction is helpful for sure. I was a lucky one using the 10 degree tool, it was perfect…. Wish I had it that easy on all my scopes. Thanks for all of your spuhr video, the helped me

Thank you for the video. The information was more than helpful.

Thank you

I purchased a nib ISMS-QDP-4016. I was following this video, and set my driver to 45 in lb not realizing your fastening system is different. As a result, I'm left with a broken mount. 😭 I sent Spuhr an email to address options, so keeping my fingers crossed! 🤦🤞🙏

Just ordered from Mile High. Also ordered the Spuhr 20 moa pic rail to mount on a Tikka T3X CTR. Went back and forth and ended up ordering the 1.18”. After I put all this on a Bravo X-Ray stock with a NX8 4x32x50, worried now I maybe should have ordered the 1.5” height.

Awesome.. SMB knowledge at its finest. Excellent video. Can you actually over tighten the tube on a scope and damage it?

Good stuff. Thank you!

Excellent video. Very helpful. Thank you! I just picked up a NF and am looking at the Spuhr mounts right now. This, along with your video about the different heights and advantages of each, are shedding a lot of light on the situation. I like your production on these vids. You get right to the topic with no nonsense. Love it.

Awesome video man. Okay so now what height is best suited for my build it's a impact precision action with 20moa rail already mounting a razor gen 2 4.5-27x56 on it. I'm looking at the 1.18" but idk if it'll fit as I'll also like to add a bit more moa onto the mount.

So there should be a slight gap on each side of the ring caps? It doesnt need to be touching flush on each side?

Great video and information, im buying the atacr 7-35 with a sphur mount. Im a bit confused as to which one to get though. I think the ism models have 18 of them. I have a 20 moa egw base on a stock savage precision 110 in 6.5. I dont need a tilted or canted mount so is it the 0 moa 34 mm mount good for just typical out to a thousand yard shooting? There is also two different lengths on the 34 mm tubes are you familiar with which one best fits the atacr?

Looking at a quick detach version of this mount. Would you recommend it as much as the non quick detach? I also can’t find the non version anywhere.

You said that those scrues (at scope rings) have special coating that you dont have to using loctite?

Great content... Thumbs up.

What are the extra screw holes in the sides for? Spare screws or?

So logically, after the scope is mounted, I can remove the base and scope together and reinstall it onto the other rifle, and just zero it?

Great video and content, appreciate the shove!

Can you over tighten your ring mounts and run the risk of deforming your scope tube perhaps?

Nice job

exellent video!

I put blue 242 on my ring screws😂 damn it lol

You're not leveling the scope! You're squaring the scope to the mount. Don't worry about the spirit level while doing this procedure. Spirit level is only used when adjusting the cant on your rifle.

Still waiting for the hacks. All of the info given here is just Spuhrs own instructions and common knowledge.

I had an issue with a Vortex Gen 3 and the scope level on this Sphur mount. I put together a quick video showing the issue. Let me know what you think: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rP37e0VErAQ.htmlfeature=shared

There is not only no "special coating" on the screws but they have WAX on them. If you want the best result you should DEGREASE them and use Loctite! You would know if you READ THE MANUAL.

Just did my base to 45 inch pounds and snapped a screw off. Don’t follow that advice

Thank you
