Formidilosus - question...I am following your guide step by step as I mount my new NF SHV 3-10x42 on my LAW Professional 280 ackley. The rifle came with steel 2 piece pic. bases that seem solid and I plan to use them with burris xtr low rings. I realize that 2 piece bases aren't as strong as one piece units, but done correctly should I have any worry about the solidness of the 2 piece steel bases, burris rings, and the NF SHV as a complete system?
You should be good.
You can get 18 inch pounds with the Allen wrench in that configuration? I must be over tightening.
I can get way more than 18 in-lbs with the little end. Most adults get between 16-20 in-lbs doing it that way.
