Scope Mounting Tips for Long Range Accuracy

Mounting your rifle scope correctly is one of the most critical steps toward achieving consistent long range accuracy. Even the most expensive scope won’t perform properly if it’s not mounted right. Here’s a quick guide to help you do it right:

1. Use a Quality Mounting System

Invest in solid, torque-able rings and bases. One-piece mounts are great for maintaining alignment, while two-piece mounts offer flexibility and weight savings.

2. Level Everything

Use a bubble level or leveling kit to ensure the rifle is perfectly level before installing the scope. A canted reticle will throw off your long-range shots dramatically.

3. Proper Eye Relief

Position the scope so that you get a full, clear sight picture when holding your natural shooting position. This prevents "scope bite" and ensures comfort under recoil.

4. Torque to Spec

Over-tightening the rings can damage your scope tube, while under-tightening can allow movement. Use a torque wrench and follow the manufacturer’s recommended specs (typically 15–25 in-lbs).

5. Check for Ring Marks

After initial installation and a few test rounds, inspect for scope shift or marks that indicate excessive stress.

When properly mounted, your scope becomes an extension of your rifle — not a loose accessory. Don’t cut corners here if you want consistent shots at 800 yards and beyond.
