The list of tips and tricks listed below are a series of helpful hints to do a scope mount and scope installation that will give you years of trouble free service. Nothing spoils a day of competition, hunting or plain fun shooting like the loss of your point of aim, the fun is always hitting what you are aiming for. Following the procedures outlined here will get you close to that goal, installing a high quality Weigand mount will get you the remainder of the way.
Read the instructions 1. I always suggest opening the scope mount package and to read the instructions. Please remember the instructions are a guideline and can not possibly address all situations you might encounter. If something is not clear stop what you are doing and call or email for assistance. We here at Weigands' are glad to lend a hand with installation questions, we also use this input to refine our instructions.
After fully understanding the instructions move on to installing the scope mount on your firearm. Get the required tools arranged on a good clean work surface. If you are using a vise be sure to have padded jaws so you don't scratch the finish of your prized firearm, leather is a great vise padding but other materials will do.
Don't use anything that can be cut easily or has a abrasive surface. Remove anything from your firearm that needs to be removed for the scope mount installation. Use the correct Gunsmithing type screwdrivers and punches, preferably brass or nylon for the punches.
Lay the scope mount on your firearm taking care to be sure all of the holes line up with the mount. Carefully thread all of the screws in to the holes, this should require very little pressure on the Allen wrench. A note about Allen wrenches , they are not all created equal. The trouble we encounter the most is inferior Allen wrenches and stripping the screw heads.
A good deal of the Allen wrenches sold today are from off shore suppliers and are of poor quality. And so far I like everything about it. I thought I would share some feedback on it to the board members. Craftsmanship and design is superb. The over bore design of the scope base gives the shooter the preferred scope mounting arrangement for sight picture and eye relief.
Ken does this on a custom jig in his shop and it is done right. One thing that I found ingenious about this mount is the shell ejection blade.
When I first received my rifle back from Ken I had a few failures to eject of the empty cases. We talked about this on the phone. Very positive ejection I might add.
