Mounting Tips and Tricks
When it comes to securing your EP-8 to your firearm, getting it right the first time is crucial for accurate shooting. Here are some tips and tricks to ensure your scope is mounted correctly on your rifle.
We recommend using ARKEN OPTICS USA Mounts: Select mounts designed to complement ARKEN scopes, ensuring a seamless and stable connection between your scope and rifle. Clean and Degrease: Before mounting, clean the mounting surfaces on both the rifle and the scope. Remove any old oil or residue to ensure a solid connection. Torque Wrench is Your Friend: Use a torque wrench to tighten screws to our specifications. This ensures consistent pressure and prevents over-tightening. Properly Level the Scope: A leveling tool helps ensure the scope is perfectly aligned with the rifle. This step is often overlooked but is crucial for accuracy. Eye Relief: Position the scope to achieve the proper eye relief for your shooting style. This is the distance between your eye and the scope.
Bore Sighting: Before finalizing the mounting, perform a bore sight. This gets your scope on paper before you head to the range for fine-tuning. Recheck and Test: After mounting, recheck all screws for tightness. Take your rifle to the range and test for accuracy. Consider Recoil: If you’re mounting on a high-recoil rifle, ensure there’s enough eye relief to prevent scope bite. Apply Thread Locker Sparingly: Use a small amount of thread locker on screws and bolts to prevent them from loosening due to recoil vibrations. Consult a Professional: If you’re unsure, seek advice from a professional gunsmith. They can ensure your scope is mounted perfectly.
A well-mounted scope can make a world of difference in your shooting experience. Following these tips will help you achieve the best results with your scope.
