Thanks for the feedback. I've just started my videos, so I'm a bit new to the whole process. I'm glad that you found some of the info helpful. Once I get some time, I will try to show barrel break-in and load development... Thanks
Is it possible to do a scope mounting yourself without the rifle vice and the mounting kit? Could I just rub the interior of the scope rings with some fine grit sandpaper or a grit sponge?
You could possibly do the work without the rifle stand/vice, but you need to be very careful with the type of grit. If you don't have the right size bar to put the grit paste on I would suggest to just not do it. If you rub too much off it will mess up your scope rings. The manufacturing of rings has gotten pretty good in the past years and it may not be worth it to try and do the job without the right equipment... Hope this helps. Everything has pretty tight tolerances. If you go to far it would be out of spec and effect other items...
that will not work my friend. The idea of the process is to ensure that the rings make even contact with the scope. If you buy better rings that step can be skipped. Some companies will machine from 1 piece of aluminum which is more precise. The flat edge trick is interesting but not ideal. What I do is sue the flashlight trick and a plumb line. Look it up works really well.
Great video, will soon be going through the same process myself for the first time. Great information. Thank you!

Did the screws that are included in the package with the rail fit okay? I saw a review on Amazon that said it had trouble fitting the Bergara
What size scope rings did you go with?
