My vortex PST is coming on Friday, pretty psyched. I'm wondering what the best way to mount it is. I've mounted dozens of hunting optics, but those were never intended to be shot at 500+. I have a AD Recon mount waiting for it. I've seen the plumb bob technique and the deck of cards technique. Which one is "more correct"? Plumb bob technique ensures the reticle is square, but it can rotate when torquing. Deck technique will keep scope level when tightening, but doesn't mean the reticle is squared.
One last question, I know with 4 screw patterned rings you tighten in a cross pattern, but how do you correctly torque on an 8 screw pattern?
Thanks!
