[QUOTE="fairchaser, post: 5169457, member: 10373"] The hardest part is getting everything perfectly level and using the proper torque on the scope base and ring screws. No one can set the eye relief except the shooter. I recommend a quality torque wrench like a wheeler and some small levels. I spent a good thirty minutes leveling one today. It’s best if you can set up a level target to view at about 40 yds. Level the gun and then level the cross hairs on the target. Tighten gradually corner to corner then torque everything at about 25 inch pounds on the base and 15 inch pounds on the rings. If you want to take it to the next level, perform a tall target test.
