I recently brought a new scope for a rifle I had built. When getting ready to mount the scope I checked the receiver with a straight edge. It is not level. I am wondering what is the best way to approach installing the scope, rings and bases? I would like to stick to Talleys or Leupold Dual Dovetails or Backcountry rings. But, I have not ruled out the DNZ Game Reaper one piece.
This is a rifle for hunting and plinking. Mild caliber—6.5x257R. Do I install the bases to the receiver incline and the lap and bed the rings? Or, do I level out the base and bed with epoxy by tightening the rear screw, letting the front of the base free float? The lap the rings or bed?
How would you approach this issue. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
