Just got an NF NX8 scope with a set of NF Ultralite 6 screw rings.
Whats the right way to properly install them in terms of spacing between the rings and tightening pattern and torques?
 
I've had a couple sets. There great rings. With that said.

I normally space the rings out as far as the picitinny rail allows. Set the scope on the rings with the bases loose. Put the caps on and loosely tighten them. Then snug the bases down and then torque the ring caps down. Shoot then re check and put small witness marks on them.
