I just checked out a video on youtube by Wheeler Engineering which details, using their scope mounting kit, just how to "properly" mount a riflescope.
I've been mounting riflescopes for quite some time using screwdrivers, Loctite, and a collimator, and nothing else.
I've never used, even on my tactical rigs, lapping bars, alignment bars, lapping compound, torque wrench, and three different levels.
I've shot competitively and taught, but never felt this was needed.
Can anyone quantitatively prove that all this stuff (lapping bars, alignment bars, torque wrench, etc.) will dramatically improve the performance of a rifle and scope?
Has anyone mounted a scope "improperly", then recorded the scores, and then re-mounted the scope "properly" using the above equipment, and recorded a dramatic difference in scores?
I dunno, the gadgetry in our beloved sport is mind-numbing at times.
Just looking for your guy's experiences with this issue...
