Scope mount kit?

[Quickdraw Outlaw]

Would like suggestions on a nice 30 mm scope mount kit.

It seems that Midway USA carries one type of kit. But would like to have a better selection of kits to choose from.

Thanks

What exactly you after?

If you buy quality base and rings, feeler gauge set (or deck of cards) for leveling, and a Borka torque kit, you need nothing else. Plus, the Borka kit will work for other maintenance as torqing the action screws, skin fasteners, etc. I've never used levels, pointers, or lapping bars, though I do have a 1" counter-shaft from a Muncie 4-spd for twisting and aligning dove-tail rings.

+1 on knowing exactly what you are looking for in terms of a "scope mount[ing] kit?"

There are all sorts of gimmicky "kits" out there for sale, but with a quality set of rings and base (or 1pc mount), it isn't rocket science to properly mount/level a scope.

Thanks for the input.

Will be mounting a Nightforce scope on Badger Ordinance 30 mm rings and 20MOA rail base.

(I like that Muncie 4-speed setup

QD Outlaw, You have identified quality rings & base - good choice!

Next steps:
o Read Badger's installation instructions. If you don't have hardware yet, download from their site.
o Get the right tools (Borka, unless you have a good lb/in torque wrench/driver and bits) and some blue (not red) Loctite.
o Check for *possible* need to bed base, especially if Rem700. Do a search here for "how to" if needed.
o Bore sight by pulling the bolt and using your eyeball - not some gimmicky tool - spend your money elsewhere.
o Go shoot!

Hint: add your location to your profile - there might be a 'Hider close to you willing to help you out if you have trouble.
