Long-Range Rifle Shooting

How to Mount a Rifle Scope for Long-Range Rifle Shooting?

Many shooters and manufacturers rely on the scope mounted on the rifle to ensure better accuracy for long-range shooting. Although it may be mounted properly to the rifle there’s no guarantee it’s gonna fit you. If you like to equate this to buying a top-of-the-line sports car and then never adjusting the mirrors or the seats for their factory positions you will not get the highest performance, no matter how good equipment is.

In this article, we are going to see plenty of instances where the scope is mounted correctly into the rifle, also going to talk about making sure the scope fits you are gonna be able to apply to the target shooting in the hunting world equally and many more.

Before we do anything make sure that the firearm is unloaded. Also, we look in the chamber to make sure it’s clean, make sure there’s no Hornady bullets inserted and this rifle is now safe to work with. First of all, we’re going to start with the rings on the rifle and we’re not gonna put them on the scope yet. If the rings get mounted on, we need to make sure it has all the slack taken out and have the Rings pushed all the way forward before we type them down, and this way we’re not going to have issues of when the rifle recoils the Rings are going to slide or slip forward. Once the Rings are mounted in place now we can put the scope in and set the scope in the lower half of the rings.

However, if you’re worried about your scope falling out you might want to take the tops of the Rings and put them on the rifle. Also, you don’t have to worry about it falling out of the Rings and potentially damaging your very expensive scope.

The first two things we’re going to worry about when making adjustments to the scope are the height of the scope and how far the scope is out from our face. Now we will be able to adjust in and out and up and down on the scope. However, up and downs are going to be a little limited, the objective lens of the scope up depending on its size. It means you can’t use the scope up too high as low as you can and it is suggested to increase it when you need to, otherwise you don’t need to do that. Moreover, getting lower rings may not always be an option if your objective lens doesn’t allow it. If you start building up the cheek rest back here to bring your head up so you can get level and the scope would allow you to go any further.

If you want to be comfortable with the rifle, you need to get directly behind the rifle and not have to strain your neck and shoulders while you’re on. You need to take the rifle, put it on your shoulder and rest your head down where it’s comfortable. The idea here is just to let the full weight of your head down on the stock and avoid pushing your head too far forward or pulling it back too much. Once your head is down the first thing, you’re going to just open your eyes. If you can see through the scope you’re good enough now. It will be a great problem if you’re looking right into the bottom edge of the scope.

Most people might be wondering how they can see perfectly through a scope. However, there’s an alignment with the scope that you need to be aware of, and that black ring that fuzzy shadow is helpful not when you’re shooting but it helps to make sure that your scopes align properly. We all know that with iron sight alignment is important and then sight picture on the target. Well the same is true with a scope and some people just don’t know and they just look at the reticle, place it on the target and then shoot.
