Mounting the Vortex optic is easier than you may think. First things first, always check your rifle is safe and clear. Place the ring halves on the rails taking into account the eye relief of the scope. Lightly secure the halves yet leaving them movable for adjustments needed. Take your scope and set it in the rings and slide it into place. Put the top ring halves on and lightly secure again for later adjustment. Check for full surface contact of the rings by sliding the scope back to front and side to side. Tighten the bottom half rings making sure they are all the way forward on the recoil lug.

Slightly tighten the screws, your scope should still rotate and slide in the rings. Set the eye relief to where you can get the widest view you possibly can. Next use a bubble level to make sure it is rifle is level with the length first. Next will be level the scope to the rifle. Place the level on top of the turret and a second bubble level that sits on the rail. The two levels need to be identically level so adjust accordingly. Once they are lined up fasten the screws the rest of the way. A recommendation is to not tighten beyond the maximum torque for your specific rings.
