Like torquing them to proper specs?
Just follow the directions on the package and you'll be fine.

Not in my experience, which I admit is limited. But I did put a 6-24 on a big recoiling rifle once and I always torque the hardware to spec. I ended up using Scotch Coat, which is something Ross Sefreid reccomended to me at the SHOT Show and that worked, but up til then the scope was slipping under recoil. This exercise was only done to shoot a buddy's 300 Win Mag at 600 or so yards for fun and it was right before the SHOT Show that we were messing with it by chance.

ive had my razor hd on my 300 rum for close to 100 rounds now with no movement. Before that it was a 6-24 pst. I even put that pst on my 375 hh for load development with no movement. Rings have been Burris xtr, warne maxima, and vortex pmr

We used Redfields or Burris Zee (not the Signature Zee), just wanted to give the guy a heads up and not have him struggle through what we did.

I appreciate the advice. My knowledge of the mounting process is definitely limited, but i dont plan on skimping on the rings. the gun does have a 20 MOA weaver rail on it, which i'm sure will help in that department.
