I can't believe how hard it is to find quality guides like this for someone who's just getting into shooting. This has given me so many pointers on the issues that might throw off my shots and how to compensate.

@neilpetersen5287 2 года назад

his book is awesome as well. I have been shooting my whole life but just started to get into long range shooting and it helped me out so much.

@BadazzShovelhead Год назад

It is harder to monetize good old fashioned knowledge like this without pimping products. You are right though good info. I have been shooting precision rifle since my time as a Marine and once a year I go back to the basics and I spend time practicing the fundamentals and even do the nerd move of sitting in my hard ensuring my positions are sound. IT is a good way to ensure you don't keep enforcing bad habits. I usually when the weather isn't great. Although living in Miami now it is hard to have a bad day here.

Anyone who'd thumbs down this gracious sharing of experience and wisdom is going through life in a clueless manner,... Thanks Ryan and NSSF; great information for anyone smart enough to know it when they see it.

Is it though? No levels? Mounting it on a table with just a bipod? No bench vise?!

@allengray4908 8 лет назад

Aaaaggghhhh! I spent a couple hours out in the hot Florida sun and a box of ammo setting up my scope and zeroing today. Now I see I'm going to have to start from scratch again tomorrow thanks to your video. Oh well. At least it will be done right.

@jeremymccormick5848 5 месяцев назад

I really value this man's knowledge and time. The Lord gives gifts to all it's how you use and teach with them that matter. Thank you sir for sharing your hard earned skills and knowledge.

@user-sy9wv3mc6b 9 месяцев назад

I know this an old video. And an excellent one that helped me out immensely. But one more thing to help with adjustment that I found with my scope is to make sure you mount your rings in the correct relation to each other and the scope to give you maximum movement forward and back. I mounted mine too close together and could never get that perfect setup until I changed the mounting points on the rifle. I hope this helps someone as it was very frustrating!! Thank you Ryan, again....for you this great video!!!

@carlosjavieruhlmann 9 лет назад

Edgar Bennett my hunting rifles are rem model 700 in .308 amd modeln783 in .300win mag. both with vortex scopes and 12x power at the moment..wanna push beyonf 1000yards one day, at the moment good for 500 and take game at 300m.

@OlMoldy 7 лет назад

It's been 6 months with my Savage Stealth in .308. That rilfe is a beast. It's really as accurate as you can possibly be. I don't have the skill to use it to it's full potential...yet.

@clintonscottwalsh 7 лет назад

Keep going and practice.. you will get there

Well done tutorial Ryan. Great idea on the "do it yourself" wooden cheek rest and following through with effective installation guidance. I may just consider the same on mine when time permits.

@willssonline 10 лет назад

Ryan, your video is worth its weight in gold! I'm in the process of putting together a gun/scope combination that will help me achieve my goal of shooting accurately at 1000 yards plus. Yours is the best video on scope mounting I've ever seen. Thanks to you, I am finally able to take my position behind the scope in complete and consistent comfort. Thus far I've only practiced at home, but I'm really looking forward to getting out to the range and putting a properly set up rifle into practice. Thanks for solving a problem that has nagged me for a long time. I plan to study your additional videos on MOA and ballistics. Keep up the great work!

@Dmmartin141 3 года назад

Ryan I just read your book, it was so much different than every other shooting manual that I’ve ever read. I’m very impressed. Thank you so much for writing a handbook that is actually entertaining and useful. In the meantime keep your booger hook off the bang switch!

@bluemtoo 12 лет назад

Thank you so much for this tutorial. After viewing this, I purchased the lowest scope rings I could find and followed the steps you provided in getting the scope adjusted. It feels absolutely great to be able to lift the rifle to it's natural position for me and have the scope picture exactly where I want it.

@Prairie7777 10 лет назад

I appreciate so very much you going through step-by-step the proper procedure of not only mounting a scope properly, but also showing HOW to set up a scoped rifle for maximum utility. I've been shooting all of my life and have mounted scores of scopes on rifles. I have set them up to shoot sub minute of angle groups etc., but not until watching this video of how to properly fit a rifle to the individual and how to understand the process of setting up the reticle, AO adj., etc. did I really

@kenno251 5 лет назад

I am fairly new to the shooting world and I appreciate the time you took to make this video .I already knew the basics of mounting a scope, but there were a couple of things that I didn't consider when mounting , like taking out one screw at a time to apply the loctite. Thank You, for helping out some of us who appreciate a little help along the way of being a better shooter !! As always stay safe while shooting guys & gals.

@nickcorrieri3652 7 лет назад

Ryan, as a new shooter I must say that all of your tutorials are invaluable information and I would be lost without them. Thank you for your service in the US army and thank you for your continued service in the civilian sector as a NSSF instructor.

@markchicketano6289 3 года назад

Good morning sir...thank you for sharing your obviously extensive knowledge in both this video and others. Here in N.J., shotguns are the most commonly hunted with weapons, so I've gotten a little rusty with rifle ballistics and scope mounting. I appreciate the refresher course on both. Take Care, Mark.

@clovisvm 7 лет назад

Does anyone here know what attachment is fixed to the leading end of the scope tube right before the objective bell?

@nowhereman841 7 лет назад

Clovis Martin depending on brand, it is most likely an adjustment to increase the brightness level of the reticle for use on a dark colored target (like a black bear).

@HowardTibsTheThird 6 лет назад

I’m 36 and have been hunting since I was 12, but I still caught myself going, “Hmm, that’s a really good point.” Excellent explanations and detail on something that most people think there is nothing left to learn about, but I sure learned a lot! I’ve subscribed and spent the last couple hours watching Ryan’s videos on things like cleaning my gun and sighting in, but still learning things I never thought about!!

@wranglerwild9193 6 лет назад

Ryan/channel goes through everything a shooter would need to know. I learned a lot by this video... and I liked how he used the "Factory mirrors on a car" he puts things in easy terms "Dumbing it down." Another educational video.

@bassmaster7371 Год назад

Thank you sir for that fine explanation of how to mount my scope. I really do appreciate it. Next I'll be looking at your how to site my scope in to my eye video. It's so helpful when you have someone who knows what they're talking about. And you sir with your resume are the best choice.

@nubian1911 12 лет назад

@lienlawmaven7967 4 года назад

Learned a LOT from this video in particular the flat bar technique for leveling the rifle and then the scope. Reminded me of lessons learned from my Dad a couple of generations ago.....to build stuff square, plumb, and level.....simple and practical methods that work but don't require machine tool precision.

@jamesashford5275 5 лет назад

He gives the kind of videos that you just need to first hear him out before you stop watching and thinking you already know everything or what he is going to say. I have realized by first watching the whole video, he answers my questions. Also, I enjoy the little gold nuggets of info that I come across that even I think I already know, but he adds something new to it. Great video as usual! 😀👍🏼

@pierrez1159 3 года назад

This is by far the best scope mounting video that I have seen - and I've seen quite a few!

@ctcollinthib 5 лет назад

Oh man- the metal shim trick is gold! Forget messing with levels.

@charlesludwig9173 2 года назад

These are the best videos on the subject of rifle shooting in general. The host has best credentials and knows how to teach. Too bad most “shooters” out there are not interested, since they think they already know how to do it. Thing is they just don’t know that they don’t know.
