How to Mount a Rifle Scope Using a Dovetail Scope Base
- 1). Open the action of your rifle and verify that your rifle is unloaded.
- 2). Remove the plug screws from the top of your rifle with your small screwdriver, the screws are located behind and in front of the rifle's action.
- 3). Position your scope mounts on your rifle -- over the screw holes -- and use the supplied screws to secure the mounts to the rifle.
- 4). Hold the scope rings parallel with the rifle barrel and place them into the top of the mounts. Rotate the rings 90 degrees so they lock into place.
- 5). Remove the top halves of the scope rings with the Allen wrench supplied with the rings, put your scope into the desired position and put the tops back on.
