5 Clean all oil, grease or dirt from the receiver top, screw holes and

from the scope base parts.

6 Pre-position the bases on the receiver top to determine the best

orientation of the bases.

7 Insert the screws through the bases and screw them into the

receiver top using the correct tool.

You must use screws of the appropriate length to ensure proper

thread engagement. Once the bases are installed, check inside the

receiver to verify that the base mounting screws are not too long

and interfering with the operation of the bolt.

Many gunsmiths find it helpful to use a drop of serviceable thread

locking compound to assure the screws stay tight. Make sure the

thread locking compound does not get into the action.

Be careful to assure that the threads of each screw engage

properly in the receiver threads to prevent stripping the threads

in the receiver.

8 Tighten the screws snugly, but do not overtighten.

9 Mount your scope rings and scope as outlined in the instructions

supplied with your scope rings and/or scope. Always make sure you

have the proper eye relief.
