I mount all my scopes this way. It must work because some tall target test have come out real well. 1. Place gun in tipton gun vice, or another way to hold gun. 2. I mount base with blue loctite and secure to manufacturers inch pounds recommendations using my torque wrench. Third, i level the gun from side to side. 4. Place barrel level on barrel that is set to reciever level. They both should be perfectly level now. 5 take reciever level off. 6. Mount scope loosely. Tighten ring screws loosely. Do not hit the barrel level or everything else will be lost. Pick the gun up and adjust scope front to back for your eye relief. 6. Use the thin scope level under bottom side of scope to match the the barrel level. When the both are level start gently tighting the scope screws in a criss cross pattern. Keep checking both levels when tightening ring screws. Tighten ring screws to scope manufacturer's inch pound torque settings. Done..now your scope cross hairs are perpendicular with the guns reciever. This series of steps works in 99% of cases. Aim small, miss small. I also installed a Bradley's cheek rest on my patriot to get the proper eye height for myself. Ty
