A Hunt To Remember With Scope Ring Mounts

By Jerry Powell


An accurate rifle has an ultimate goal. That is to allow the shooter in achieving his or her accuracy potential in shooting. Many a shooter go beyond the accuracy of the rifle. Then again, this only happens when other things do not get in the way, like optics and ammunition.

This can easily be avoided by getting quality parts in the market. They say your scope ring mounts is the weakest link in a shooting system. Since mounting failures accounts for more issues in the field than any other, it is best to know how best to deal with this.

The most expensive rifle you invested hard earned money on, is only as good as a scope you bought at just any other store, with the most convenient price. So then, your rifle is rendered useless when the rings and bases are not reliable. You would notice that, too late, if worse comes to worse, and your aim will be missed, ending up instead, with a wounded animal.

There are a lot of shooters who exceed the accuracy of their tool. Even so, when they choose to buy just any available equipment. In the long run, this would be a hassle in the field, when you aim your target and miss it big time. Worse, you could end up with another wounded animal. If you invest on the primary tool, invest just as much, on the rest of the parts. Otherwise, you are on for a frustrating hunt.

Things like that can make a difference when you are on the field. Sometimes the scopes are not installed with the rings they should be going with or the bases, but just whatever may have been available at the store. There are many combinations available at the stores.

Mounts comes in different variations. Solid steel ones are said to be the strongest but in most cases, aluminum suits so well too. Remember that your ring halves are supposed to have gaps between them. Don't try to make them close and just make the gaps even.

Purchasing a new scope can be really exciting before you know the work that mounting will involve. The next step is to attach it to the gun. This is why matching your rings and mounts to your rifle is a vital factor. Going for cheaper purchases can cause problems in the long run.

An ideal mounting system is vital because it would secure the optical device. Make sure it can go as comfortably low as possible. That is how important optics and ammunition are. They prove the potential of how good and how far a shooter can go to make a good aim and hit the target.

If you have a quality rifle and a quality scope but poor mounts that causes the former to slide or loosen up, you may end up losing the chance of your shoot of a lifetime. That can prove to be so frustrating. Shooting is supposed to be an enjoyable activity, not annoying. Your hunt on the field or the woods should be worth remembering, a tale worth telling to someone you would pass the skill on.
