| Is there a special way to ensure that my scope is aligned in a my mount or do I just eyeball it? I have a Trijicon TR24G & Larue LT-104 mount. |
|
I have used a small level to match up the top of the scope to the top of the rail, with the upper mounted solid in a holding fixture and a vise
Another way, If the scope has a flat bottom on the turret housing you can use shims in between the bottom of the scope and the top of the LT 104 rail to square them up |

I can even throw a digital caliper into that area probably. Thanks! |

Could you explain that a little more? |

Uhh, let's see...
There is a flat top to the Larue mount in between the rings. There is a flat bottom on many scope turret housings. If you insert the correct shim in between, it forces the two flats into alignment. Done right, the scope reticle should be perfectly square to the mount |
