Installation of optics

1. What you need:

✅ Torque wrench
✅ Blue thread stop
✅ Level
✅ Degreaser

2. Preparation:

⚡ Find out the maximum tightening torque for the optics and monoblock in Nm or in/lbs (see the description of the optics and monoblock)
⚡ Find the bolt tightening diagram for this monoblock (see the description of the monoblock)

Our recommendation: Bolt tightening diagram in the optical sight

⚡ Degrease ALL bolts and threaded holes of the monoblock.
⚡ Degrease all contact surfaces – optics and monoblock, monoblock and Picatinny.

3. Installation:

👉 Level the rifle: level on Picatinny.
👉 Place the monoblock with the upper half-rings removed on Picatinny.
👉 Drop blue thread stopper on the bolts that attach the monoblock to Picatinny.
👉 Tighten the bolts that attach the monoblock to Picatinny by hand (so that it does not dangle).
👉 Check the level on the rings.
👉 Place the optics CENTERWAY between the half-rings (symmetrically between the rings).
👉 Place the upper half-rings.
👉 Insert the bolts into the threaded holes of the half-rings, having previously dropped a SMALL drop of blue thread stopper on them.
👉 Screw in all bolts manually until the FIRST resistance and MANDATORY checking the SYMMETRICALITY of the GAPS on both sides.
👉 Since the bolts are not yet tightened, the optics should still rotate – adjust the optics by level relative to the rings: Place the level on the optics drum and the level on the ring.
👉 Checking the gaps on both sides, tighten the bolts ACCORDING TO THE DIAGRAM and TAKING INTO ACCOUNT the maximum TIGHTENING TORQUE for the OPTICS with a torque wrench!!!

⚡ Do not overtighten the optics!!!! ⚡

👉 Loosen the bolts securing the monoblock to the picatinny.
👉 Pressing the monoblock FORWARD, tighten the bolts securing the monoblock to the picatinny ACCORDING TO THE DIAGRAM and TAKING INTO ACCOUNT the maximum TIGHTENING TORQUE with a torque wrench.

⛔ In no case should you use any SEALANTS, GLUE or other crap when installing optics: Shoot such masters in the knee!

4. Check:

⚡ Symmetry of the optics installation between the rings.
⚡ Symmetry of the gaps on both sides of the half rings.
⚡ The level of the optics relative to the barrel (Since the optics when shooting should ALWAYS be level with the surrounding world, and not with the barrel, this is not so critical).

📢 If you have optics installed somewhere “in the workshop” and the first two criteria of symmetry are not met – feel free to punch them in the face!!!

Good hunting, Gentlemen!
